University prizes for LUMS faculty
Published 2 July 2004
Dr Pelham Gore received a University Prize (Sir Alistair Pilkington Award for Undergraduate Teaching) in recognition of his commitment to teaching excellence in the Department of Accounting & Finance.
The award recognises Dr Gore’s strength in the area of assessment, with evidence of use of a variety of assessment modes, most of which have a formative element, and the ability to present sometimes difficult subject matter resulting in consistently good student feedback. He also has a reputation within the Management School as one of its best teachers.
Dr Sharon Bolton (Department of Organisation, Work and Technology) also won a prize for undergraduate teaching. Nominated for the prize by 33 undergraduate students, Dr Bolton won her award for a thoughtful approach to choice of teaching methods, a coherent teaching philosophy and willingness to experiment with a variety of assessment methods - including 360° assessment.
Dr Frank Cave, of the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development, won a joint Commercialisation prize with Dr Malcolm Joyce of the Engineering Department.
Dr Cave and Dr Joyce are joint prize winners in recognition both of the creation of one of the University's early spin-out companies, Hybrid Instruments, and their general contribution to our commercial activities. Hybrid Instruments draws on technology developed both at Lancaster and at BAE and BNFL. Examples of their work in Cumbria include environmental and risk aspects of the nuclear industry.
