Teaching Awards of the University of South Bohemia

Teaching Awards of the University of South Bohemia

Teaching awards may be given in two categories: 

  1. for excellence in teaching,
  2. for outstanding, state-of-the-art higher education textbooks. 
USB highly values the tradition of education in the South Bohemian region and therefore names its teaching awards as the Jarloch Prize, in honour of Jarloch (1165–1228), an important bearer of education and the first South Bohemian chronicler, abbot and co-founder of the Milevsko monastery. 

Submission of nominations:

(1) Each USB faculty may submit no more than two duly substantiated nominations for the Jarloch Prize for Excellence in Teaching each year. The proposer is the student section of the Academic Senate of the respective faculty. In addition, the student section of the USB Academic Senate may also submit up to two duly substantiated nominations. 
(2) Each USB faculty may submit no more than two properly justified nominations for the Jarloch Prize for outstanding, modern higher education textbooks each year. The proposer shall be a Dean or Vice-Dean with the student affairs remit at the faculty concerned.  
(3) The proposed educator or lead author of the proposed textbook must be a USB employee who has his or her full-time employment with USB (in the case of co-authorship of a textbook, emphasis is placed on a significant USB employee contribution). In cases worthy of special consideration, the award may also be given to a USB professor emeritus who is not employed by USB at the time of the award. 
(4) Higher education textbooks published during the three years preceding the submission deadline or in the year of submission may be proposed for the award. 
(5) The Jarloch Prize can only be won once in each category.  
(6) Nominations shall be submitted on the nomination form attached to this ordinance. A nomination for a higher education publication must be accompanied by a copy of the publication. It is recommended that the nomination be accompanied by a documented review reception of the publication. Nominations shall be submitted to the Office of Study Activities of the USB Rectorate by April 30 of the year in question. 
(7) The Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and the Vice-Deans with the student affairs remit will discuss the submitted nominations and jointly determine the order of these nominations. These rankings will then be forwarded to the Rector for final selection of the nominations to be given awards. 
(8) A maximum of two awards may be given in each category. 

Award components:

(1) The ceremonial presentation of teaching awards takes place at the annual USB celebration of the academic year's opening.
