January 29, 2014 | SharkAdmin Congratulations to NVC faculty Ashley McGee and Juan Silva for receiving the Excellence in Teaching awards. Below are snippets of what their students said. [image 1]Ashley McGee “Science coursework is rigorous and challenges even the best students, but Ashley McGee always makes sure that all of her students are keeping up with the pace. She is very engaging, patient, and easy to approach. Students are not intimidated to ask questions or ask for help. She makes the material easy to understand by using real-life examples and ensuring that each student has the opportunity to learn such amazing things. Ashley is detailed oriented and is always taking feedback, improving her lectures, and adding her personal touch to keep us engaged in the learning process. In addition to teaching, she has also taken on coaching NVC’s cross country intramurals team. Just like in the classroom, Ashley pushes all the runners to do better.” [image 2]Juan Silva “Mr. Silva is an exceptional instructor. He really makes the time to help us in class. He is motivational and does an excellent job at teaching the class material. He shares his love for Math and it definitely reflects on his teaching method. I commend him for his efforts. He teaches class at a high level and focuses on preparing students for university level Math courses. He is a great instructor. Please recognize Mr. Silva for his dedication and commitment to the NVC student body.”
