Teaching of the course, at which 37 national and international students attended this year, includes 7.5 hours of lectures, supervision of a 6-month lab-based research project and marking of exam scripts. In addition to PhD and MRes students, we regularly supervise 1-2 BSc students in the lab supporting our research with small projects (2.5-months).
Feedback from students from the Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine MRes module course 2014/15
Student 1: Again another excellent teacher who responded well to questions and stimulated further conversation.
Student 2: An excellent teacher who clearly cares about whether a student understands or not the topic she is teaching. She seems inspired by her work and knows her subject well. However, during the theory sessions it would be very helpful if after each experiment she explains, the overall message was written on a next slide to reinforce the point she is trying to make. Overall, an excellent lecturer nonetheless.
Student 3: Examplary lecturer.
Student 4: One of the best lecturers in the university.
Student 5: She taught the basic and dwelled deeper into the course, very approachable.
Student 6: Sometimes the lectures were difficult to understand, however the use of the handouts made it easy for me to go back over everything in my own time.
Student 7: Very friendly and very knowledgeable.
Student 8: Very kind, very helpful couldn't have explained things better! loved her style of teaching.
Student 9: Very enthusiastic and encouraging.
The positive feedback from this year’s MRes students survey spurs us further on.
Newcastle Teaching Excellence Award 2013
Dr. Reichelt was nominated for a Newcastle Teaching Excellence Award 2013 by her students in the category: Research Supervisor of the Year. The Newcastle TEA’s are completely student led from planning to judging and aim to recognise and reward excellence in teaching and those academics which go ‘above and beyond’ here at Newcastle.
Comments from the nominations:
"Dr. Reichelt is research supervisor for numerous undergrads, masters/PhD students. She is very approachable and helpful. She always has time for everyone no matter who. For this she has my immense respect. I think this suggests she is very committed to her students, and she is generous with her research knowledge. She is always happy to give up her time in order to pass on skills to new students (research skills etc.)."
