Description: | When all classes had to go online due to corona, Michiel Brentjens turned his Radio Astronomy course around, changing it into one without lectures or exams, but one in which students had to actually build their own radio telescope out of a paint can. His students are so enthusiastic about this approach, that they nominated him for Teacher of the Year 2022 of the Science Faculty of the University of Leiden. An award that he officially won on January 10th.
Since Michiel was on a conference in Seattle, he called in remotely. |
