4 DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD

The Distinguished Teacher Award, given one only to an individual, recognises teaching at any or all levels by a member of the faculty that has made a significant and lasting impression on students.

Previous recipients in the Faculty of Science have been:

1996 M D Picker (Zoology) 1998 I Barashenkov (Maths & Applied Maths) 2002 A Buffler (Physics) S Oldfield (Environmental and Geographical Science) 2003 D Gammon (Chemistry) 2004 B Davidowitz (ADP in CHED & Chemistry) 2008 J O’Riain (Zoology) 2011 G Smith (Chemistry) 2012 Z Woodman (Molecular & Cellular Biology) 2014 J Gain (Computer Science) 2014 S Wheaton (Physics) 2016 AG West (Biological Sciences)

The following members of the Faculty of Science have been chosen for this award in 2017:

Dr Jonathan Shock Mathematics and Applied Mathematics

Arriving at UCT in 2013 with no undergraduate teaching experience, and tasked with teaching MAM1000W, the “killer” maths course, Dr Shock was truly thrown into the deep end. Beginning in the second semester, Jonathan was greeted by many students feeling dejected and overwhelmed after struggling through a semester of mathematics that high school did a very poor job of preparing them for. Armed with his contagious enthusiasm for mathematics, he made many poorly performing students who, according to themselves, “had no confidence about passing the final exam” start to think “but maybe I actually can do this”.

From the beginning Jonathan was not afraid to try out new ideas. He supplied students with red cards that were to be raised if they felt he needed to stop and better explain the topic at hand. He strongly believes that if a student does not understand something, the teacher is at fault. Outside the classroom, this belief has driven him to have aspects of course documentation translated into all official South African languages and students report that mathemafrica.org, the website he cofounded, is a brilliant learning resource. Dr Shock’s preparation and dedication to his lectures is outstanding, which can be seen by his glowing course evaluations. Students describe him as “an exceptional lecturer who presents his work with unmatched quality and clarity.”

5 DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD (CONTINUED)

Additionally, he is known to occasionally take a few minutes at the end of a lecture to pique his students’ interest by discussing intriguing topics outside the scope of the course. Creating online collaborative course notes that students are encouraged to edit and expand, as well as having honors students give talks are some of the other, very effective ways Jonathan keeps his students engaged.

His support for his students is legendary. He has set up bootcamps, improved mentoring schemes, and competitions to get people involved. This exceptional teacher can even be found hosting consultation hours on Saturday mornings in a cafe on Main Road, so as to create an informal environment where students are not intimidated to approach him. Jonathan is known to follow up on students who have come to him for help, congratulating and supporting them after exam results are released. His support and enormous dedication is summed up in student feedback which reveals that, in their own words, “Dr Shock cares. He cares more than any other lecturer I’ve met … and that makes him an amazing teacher that deserves to be recognised.”

Dr David Erwin Mathematics and Applied Mathematics

The difficulty of teaching first year mathematics at the cannot be overstated. Huge lecture halls are jam-packed with students from around the country. Most of these students, being first years, bustle with the excitement and anxiety of the new university environment. But a solitary teacher must stand before these students (usually very early in the morning) and ensure that their attention is directed at that lecture’s content—and not the myriad other things that are on a first year’s mind. The teacher must also balance and counterbalance the many levels and stages the students may be on in respect of mathematics. Some students may be full-blown prodigies; others may be from circumstances which prevented their full mathematical development. Almost all, moreover, have learned from high school that mathematics is, in Dr Erwin’s words, a “passive” affair. This is not to say that their distinction in matric mathematics is worthless. But their journey as mathematicians (unbeknownst to most students) has only just begun. Continued success at university level will require a fundamental shift from being a passive receiver of knowledge to an active participant who achieves understanding after many hours of struggling with the material.

Dr David Erwin has not only stood before these filled lecture halls and faced these seemingly insurmountable challenges, but he has also done so in a way that has distinguished him as one of the best teachers at the University of Cape Town. He has consistently scored immaculate ratings in student evaluations. He has, despite his large, diverse classes, managed to reach out to students and inspire them in a subject that is hard, daunting, and time- consuming. In the words of some of his students, Dr Erwin gives students the greatest gift any teacher can give: a desire to learn. This is by no accident alone: Dr Erwin is a highly self-aware and reflective teacher. For him, teaching is a learning process—a skill that can be improved on if time and effort is devoted to it. In a way, Dr Erwin’s approach to teaching mirrors how he encourages students to approach mathematics: instead of being passive towards his teaching, Dr Erwin actively engages and evaluates how he teaches. This has led to his introduction and constant review of certain innovations, such as weekly online tests in WeBWorK. Above all this, Dr Erwin finds the time to teach a highly rated honours course and to mentor colleagues who are new to teaching.

13 HISTORICAL SKETCH

Founded as the (a boys’ school that aimed to provide higher education as well) in 1829, the University was established as the University of Cape Town in 1918.

The early history was one of great expectations and hard times and it was not until the early years of the twentieth century that the University was developed into a fully-fledged tertiary institution. A significant and pioneering development in the 19th century was the admission of women as degree students in 1886, many years ahead of most universities in the world.

At the start of the 20th century the University incorporated the , the teacher training classes of the Normal College, the South African College of Music and the Cape Town Schools of Fine Art and Architecture.

The Medical School was established and in the 1920s the University began a partnership with the local health authority (now the Provincial Government’s health department) that saw the Medical School move from the Hiddingh Campus and the Green Point Somerset Hospital to Observatory (the rest of UCT’s Upper Campus moved from Hiddingh to its present site, on part of Cecil Rhodes’ estate, in 1928). This partnership allowed for the construction of the first on a University site. The partnership continues to this day and now involves not only Groote Schuur as a teaching hospital but Red Cross Children’s Hospital, Valkenberg and a growing number of primary health care sites.

The period between the end of World War II and 1994 was marked by two themes. Firstly, the University recognised that if it was to be fully South African, it would have to move beyond academic non-segregation to be fully inclusive. It would have to face the consequential and increasing clashes with a government determined to legislate for segregation and enforce the doctrine of . And secondly, the University intended to transform into a leading research institution.

Before World War II, the University was largely a teaching university and its students were mostly undergraduates. The research undertaken was sporadic, though in some cases notable. A research committee was appointed for the first time in 1945. The next 75 years saw a great expansion of research and scholarly work such that the UCT of 2014 has a greater proportion of highly rated researchers and gains significantly more research grants and awards than any other South African University.

The 1980s and 1990s were characterized by the deliberate and planned transformation of the student body. This was aided by the establishment of the Academic Development Programme aimed at helping students from disadvantaged educational and social backgrounds to succeed and the desegregation of student residences. As a result, a student body that was 90% white in 1979, when UCT marked its 150th anniversary, is in 2014 more than 50% black. The total student enrolment of just above 26 000, includes international students drawn from over 100 countries, a significant proportion of which are from SADC states. Particular emphasis is placed on postgraduate studies and more than 20% of these students will be enrolled in master’s and doctoral programmes. A growing number of postdoctoral fellows contribute substantially to the research endeavours and reputation of the University (UCT has more than a third of the total number of post docs in South Africa).

UCT continues to work towards its goal to be Africa’s leading research university. Its success can be measured by the scope of study it offers and the calibre of its graduates.
