I am posting this as a Ph.D. student at Mines (though I am also teaching faculty). This semester I took CSCI 406, Algorithms, as a remote student. Dr. Dinesh Mehta, the instructor, did a phenomenal job to provide us not only with great videos with slides superimposed in post-processing to great effect, but also interacting with us via Zoom to provide us with direction and assistance on the worksheets that made it an active classroom. His flipping of exams to handle the open-book nature was also extremely well done and much appreciated. It’s clear he cares about students and providing a high-quality experience to all of us. As a remote student, I appreciate his efforts as it ensured I could keep my aging parents safe while providing them the assistance they needed this semester.

This is Amelia Read’s first semester teaching at Mines; teaching Computer Organization. She has done a phenomenal job building and extending the course beyond past offerings. She is also able to keep student engagement in class by working ‘with’ students instead of ‘in front of’ students. The detailed and monotonous nature of the class was minimized by her teaching style, and Mines should be grateful for such dedicated faculty.

Dr. Kamini Singha has made class this semester fun and engaging, even in our virtual environment. She really went above and beyond to ensure we were learning while still being mindful of the unique challenges we're facing right now. She was understanding and accepting of feedback, and she really created a comfortable learning environment on Zoom. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to learn with her this semester.
