Prodeko Teaching Award of the year 2017 to Jari Ylitalo, Peter Kenttä and Tuukka Kostamo
Guest lecturer Jari Ylitalo, and doctoral students/researchers Peter Kenttä and Tuukka Kostamo were voted in Teachers of the year 2017 by Department of Industrial Engineering and Management students. They are responsible for the popular course on leadership, "Leading as Practice”.
The course challenges the students to take a critical stance on taken for granted views on leadership, and enables them to reflect on and elaborate further their personal thinking on leadership and themselves as leaders.
Students comments:
"Interactive discussions and critical touch challenged the students to really reflect on things”
"Genuinely like to teach and share their knowledge to students”.
The price was announced at the annual PRODEKO Spring seminar at Kalastajatorppa 28.4.
