At the meeting, Associate Dean Roger Moore gave the following laudation.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Bohmann\u2019s students praise her for many things. They laud her, for instance, for her skill in lecturing. Her \u201cincredibly-clear, well-framed lectures,\u201d one writes, \u201cwere the key to my success.\u201d Another said that Professor Bohmann\u2019s lectures \u201cwere some of the best I have ever attended.\u201d She is not just eloquent in presenting information, however. She uses helpful examples to make abstract concepts accessible. \u201cProfessor Bohmann does a great job of guiding you towards the answer instead of just telling you,\u201d says one student. Another commented \u201cI typically consider myself to take longer to understand abstract concepts\u2026but Professor Bohmann\u2019s teaching really helped me understand abstract ideas and apply them myself in proofs.\u201d One student paid her the compliment of saying that Professor Bohmann\u2019s classes \u201cmade me think more critically than most classes that I have taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students are grateful for the time that Prof. Bohmann devotes to them in office hours. \u201cShe was extremely helpful in office hours,\u201d says one, \u201cwhere we were able to really get to the root of what I don\u2019t understand.\u201d In office hour consultations, they learned just how committed their professor was to helping them master the material: \u201cshe did a great job in office hours of ensuring that our proofs improved over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, her students praise her for her positive attitude. One writes \u201cOverall, Professor Bohmann brings such an unparalleled joy into every class day. She is always ready to laugh at silly examples and radiates a sincere love of the subject material.\u201d Congratulations, Professor Bohmann!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Anna Marie Bohmann is the recipient of the 2023 Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in the Natural Sciences award.
