Adam Arnold, exceptional teaching by a student award recipient, 2007

Civil & Environmental Engineering

Adam has an innate sense of giving students what they need when he is teaching. He has great communication skills, was always prepared for tutorials and helped students understand complex theories.

Comments from students:

“Adam motivates the class through his enthusiastic attitude, and is very encouraging and positive towards students.

Adam is one of if not the best TAs I have had during my four years at Waterloo. I have respect for Adam based on how he treats students. He is always kind but manages to stay professional.

Adam took the role as teaching assistant very seriously and never viewed it as an imposition. He was eager to help us to succeed.”
