Jose came directly from the industry and although he had little or no previous teaching experience he was a natural. He completed a teacher training qualification and was top of his class. Jose has well-developed interpersonal skills, and he fills a room with his energy and enthusiasm. The student evaluations were always very positive about his teaching. He left us in March 2015 and that semester he was voted one of the most popular teachers in our University of 28,000 students. Jose worked well with his colleagues and was always willing to put in that extra effort to finish the job well. This was especially evident in his work for our minor Individuals. Individuals, is both an education and a brand which is sold to the public. In this course Jose was able to apply, first hand, his industry experience, which ensured the students received the most appropriate and industry relevant education.
