ERIK MODIG - BSC TEACHER OF THE YEAR!
How does it feel to have won this award, what is your first reaction?
After teaching a course it is easy to recall the things that didn’t go according to plan or could have been done better. Therefore, awards and appreciation always come as a much welcome surprise. I am extremely happy to be awarded this, and I feel very humble before the task to live up to the standard it should expect of me.
What are your hobbies?
I teach four courses and have two little kids - I do not do hobbies :) I remember I liked painting, cooking and gardening before. Today, I really enjoy sleeping.
What inspires you?
The future.
If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
A lion. I was actually surprised by my own instinctive answer here. It feels like lions have a natural calm and control over their situation. I would like to have that.
