Dinner on the Dean
These modest financial rewards allow a faculty member to have dinner with the dinner companion of his or her choice, with perhaps a bottle of wine thrown in. Based on the "overall teaching effectiveness" rating in the final course evaluations, they go to faculty in courses with 12 or more students whose average rating is 4.5 or greater. Faculty in courses with enrollments under 12, or who teach modules, or who teach jointly win lunch on the Dean.
