Charlotte is an excellent teacher, who is highly appreciated by the students. Her way of teaching combines interesting and pedagogical lectures with practical learning moments, which gives the students an in-depth knowledge about her subjects. Furthermore, Charlotte genuinely cares about her students. She is eager to listen to their opinions, and change her courses according to them. She always asks how the students are and if they need any help. On top of this, Charlotte has divided all her courses into short course modules, in order to make them less stressful for the students to pass. Charlotte’s way to care for the students has been extra helpful for the students during the pandemic, when it sometimes has been hard to handle the studies. Furthermore, the students feel that it is easy to get in contact with Charlotte, and that she takes her time to give them the help they ask for. Charlotte’s dedication to give all students the best teaching possible makes her a well worthy winner of the pedagogical prize.
