Dr Brendan O'Connell, School of English
Dr Brendan O'Connell
“Brendan is a warm, empathetic and understanding individual who is always engaging and bright in every lecture. He feels like an approachable individual and has proven to be so on many occasions when I have needed help and advice, on which occasion she has gone out of his way to be more than helpful. Brendan also went out of his way to console us in terms of being nervous for exams and essays, reminding us of supports we had and just being real with us”.
Student Nomination
Dr Jonathan Dukes School of Computer Science & Statistics
“[This professor's passion for his subject, his understanding of how students learn, and his willingness to implement new technology into his module was outstanding… I felt this professor's 'hybrid' way of running his module, with the use of up-to-date software and automatic marking, was fit for what will inevitably be the future of teaching & learning for undergrads... I think he is worthy of an award for at the very least: modernising a module for the new generation of students”.
Student Nomination
Dr Liam Kneafsey, School of Social Sciences & Philosophy
“To put it anecdotally- when the whole class applauds you after a lecture, you know you’ve done a good job. When he gives a lecture, it feels like he is explaining something he cares about and wants you to understand too…Dr Kneafsey has helped me truly enjoy the study of Political Science, and I am sure many other students as well…Dr Kneafsey is undoubtedly the best lecturer I have had and has a clear love and understanding for the material he teaches”.
