Awards for innovative teaching at Essex Business School

“Essex Business School staff deliver first class and genuinely innovative teaching for our students. This includes techniques such as the usage of internally generated case studies and business simulation games to bring theory and practice together; however, above all, it reflects a serious commitment to the scholarly project, to deepening the knowledge, capabilities and understanding of students. I am delighted that Anastasia, Giovanni and Ahmad’s hard work and dedication has been recognised through the Awards.” 

“The Greek philosopher, Socrates, said: ‘I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think’. This is what I enjoy most about teaching; the stimulation of critical thinking. I feel very honoured to be awarded the University of Essex Excellence in Teaching Award.”

“What I enjoy most about teaching is fostering class participation and interaction between students, which enables them to attain higher-level thinking skills, insights about their learning process, and a broader understanding of business complexity.”

“My teaching philosophy is to create a positive learning environment that encourages open communication with students and integrates practical knowledge with theoretical concepts. My aim is to make accounting interesting to students and to challenge their perceptions of it.”
