Thank-A-Teacher @ GCSU

Do you have an instructor who has made a positive impact on you? If so, you will have the opportunity to tell us during the last three weeks of the semester.

The Center for Teaching and Learning will collect your responses to present a letter to your instructor nominee. We will also give the instructor a certificate acknowledging your nomination. You can remain anonymous, or you can provide us with your information to share with the instructor. 

Follow this link to complete the Thank-a-Teacher @ GCSU form or watch a short video to learn more.

For questions, please contact the Center for Teaching & Learning at ctl@gcsu.edu or 478-445-2520.  

• Who can receive a nomination?  Any instructor who teaches at Georgia College & State University. 
• Can the same student nominate an instructor multiple times?  While we acknowledge an instructor may have an ongoing impact on you, we ask that each student nominate an instructor only one time.  
• How many nominations can an instructor receive each semester?  An instructor may get multiple nominations from different students up to the number of students who submit a nomination.  
• Can the nomination come from someone other than a student?  Currently, we are only accepting student nominations at this time.  
• Since only students can nominate instructors, what other ways can I acknowledge an instructor?  There are other processes in place at Georgia College & State University to acknowledge instructors (i.e., Academic Affairs Excellence Awards), or you can send a personal note (i.e., email) to let the instructor know how much you appreciate them.   
• What if the instructor I want to nominate no longer works at Georgia College & State University?  While it is a nice gesture to acknowledge your instructor who may no longer work for Georgia College & State University, we may not be able to present the letter and certificate to your instructor unless you have their personal contact information.  
• Can I nominate an instructor who taught me before the Fall 2021 semester?  Since the program only started at GCSU Fall 2021, we ask that nominations begin no earlier than Fall 2021.  
• Where can I share a concern that I have about my instructor?  The Thank-a-Teacher @ GCSU program is to acknowledge instructors who have had a positive impact on you. If you have a concern, follow the chain of command by contacting your instructor first. You can also express constructive feedback on the Student Rating of Instruction Survey (SRIS), which is emailed to your bobcat's email account for feedback at the end of the semester.
