## Outstanding Teaching Award (OTA) Individual Award
#### Professor Wing-sum Cheung
Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science
I teach from the perspective of the students. I would give timely motivation on what they are going to learn and why they are learning the materials. From time to time, I would also give a bird’s eye view of where the subject is within mathematics and sometimes even beyond mathematics.

#### Dr. Cole Roskam
Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture
The idea that teachers must demonstrate a passion, not only for the learning of others, but for learning from others, forms the foundation of my teaching philosophy. [Read on](https://tl.hku.hk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dr-roskam.pdf)

#### Ms. Dorothy S.W. Tang
Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture
While it is important to set students up for success in the classroom, I believe that unsuccessful attempts are equally rewarding. Perhaps students should not be evaluated by the success of their final projects, but rather the process in which they set up the problems and execute solutions.

#### Dr. Tammy Y.L. Kwan
Faculty of Education
I strongly believe a teacher of excellence and a genuine professional, in addition, needs to be proactive in taking up leadership roles and possesses the courage to try innovative practices in both teaching and curriculum design. In my words, this is to get myself out of the comfort zone and explore into new round. [Read on](https://tl.hku.hk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dr-kwan.pdf)
#### Dr. Kaimin Shih
Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
I like to encourage my students to be innovative and ambitious in pursuing every dream in their lives – there can be miracles, when you believe – and, of course, that includes our common goal of a sustainable environment. [Read on](https://tl.hku.hk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dr-shin.pdf)
#### Dr. Xiaojun Yan
Department of Politics and Public Administration, Faculty of Social Sciences
In my view, teaching is a transformative and conversational process, which affords an opportunity to inspire and empower and to learn, both for ourselves and our students.

## Outstanding Teaching Award (OTA) Team Award
#### Professor Li-chong Chan (Leader), Dr. Julie Y. Chen, Dr. Janice W.H. Tsang
Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine for *A Medical Humanities Core Curriculum: Engaging Medical Students Through Experiential Learning*
We believe that innovations in pedagogy i.e. curricula design and innovation, new formats of teaching, learning and assessment should not only drive our students to gain the capacity for greater awareness, self-reflection and transformation but also lead students to ‘connect the dots’ between disparate pieces of information which may appear to be unrelated and promote critical thinking to bring clarity to issues or conditions that appear uncertain or ill-defined.
