Congratulations to Dr Reka Toth, who has been awarded one of the 2024 MPLS Teaching Awards.
The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division at the University celebrates the outstanding teaching efforts of its staff each year. The scheme is dedicated to celebrating success and recognising innovative teaching practices across all career stages. This initiative is open to everyone engaged in teaching roles, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty members, and learning support staff.
Reka is Departmental Lecturer in Biology and was nominated by a member of staff with this nomination strongly endorsed by the Department. The supporting statement for Reka’s nomination highlighted her critical contributions to the teaching and development of the MBiol. The nomination further drew attention to the ‘meticulous feedback’ that Reka provides while training for the AFHEA certificate. The nomination also notes Reka’s ‘commendable leadership’ in providing inclusive teaching that has improved the experiences of neurodivergent students, describing Reka as ‘an indefatigable advocate for the MBiol and Oxford University’.
Professor Jim Naismith, Head of the MPLS Division, said:
"Oxford teaching transforms lives for the better. MPLS is rightly proud of the efforts of our colleagues who deliver excellent teaching day in day out. I am really pleased to celebrate some exceptional and inspirational teachers who have won these awards and those who were nominated."
A full list of this year's winners can be found on the MPLS website.
