The LMU’s justification for nomination states that its courses in public law, particularly administrative law, enjoy “an outstanding reputation due to their high level, their innovative didactics and the pleasant teaching atmosphere.” Kim Chi Tran’s teaching is characterized by respect, “brilliant precision in expression” and the exemplary involvement of all students. It is also thanks to them that the examination board is a role model in the use of digital teaching elements.
The second recipient of the prize, Sven Strickroth, holds the professorship for Technology-Enhanced Learning at the Institute of Computer Science. According to the reasons for the nomination, his “outstanding performance and innovative strength” are particularly evident in the lectures “Introduction to Programming”, “E-Assessment and Learning Analytics” and “Programming and Modeling”.
