Roger 与 has learned a lot in his 30 years of teaching at the University of New Hampshire, 但他并没有因此而自满.

管理科学副教授, 最近获得了2023年的彼得T. 保罗经济与商业学院 Excellence in Teaching Award for Tenure Track Faculty. 

His courses primarily revolve around business analytics and information systems, and 与’s colleagues praise him for his ability to stay up-to-date with the latest technology while adjusting his curriculum.

“格林德教授是一位鼓舞人心的人, 具有挑战性,非常有效和多才多艺的老师,靖王说, 决策科学副教授, 谁提名格林德获奖的. 他定期回顾, improves and develops the course contents to ensure that the course materials are current, 与市场需求相关并保持一致. His students have applauded his dedication to rigorous and high-quality teaching.”

与 attributes his teaching versatility to his commitment to continuous learning. 他鼓励学生把学习当作一个过程来接受, 将挑战视为成长的机遇.

“对我来说, 最有价值的时刻是一对一的工作, 或者一次只带几个学生, 他们展示了他们在模型或分析中所做的工作, 你可以帮助他们解决问题 ... they start to realize what they don’t know and that’s when we have these jumps in understanding,格林德说. “Hitting those bumps or hurdles is normal and learning is not always an easy path.”

格林德一直得到学生们的积极评价, 谁说格林德的课程很有挑战性, but he was able to break down complex subjects while always being available, 课内课外都一样, 帮助他们.

“格林德教授做得很好. The aspect of this class I really appreciated was utilizing modern–day tools (a few of them) to perform data visualizations. I really enjoy a class that does not just follow a textbook and this class kept my interest the entire time. It was also awesome that some of his presentations included updated information from the past few days or even day,一个学生写道。.

技术在格林德的课程中扮演着关键的角色, 他经常提醒学生,没有领域知识是没有用的. 例如, a student working on a housing market exercise can use artificial intelligence or other technology to analyze data, but industry knowledge is needed to accurately interpret and explain the data or identify inconsistencies and inaccuracies.

“I think one of the challenges we face as educators is to impress upon our students that to be a good decision maker, 你需要一些专业技能, but you need the knowledge of why you’re doing that analysis and the domain knowledge about what you’re studying,他说.

与 has always valued the balanced focus on teaching and research at 主要研究 and views his award as a reflection of the supportive Paul College and 主要研究 communities.

“是人造就了一个机构,”格林德说. “I'm blessed to be in a department that has very good teachers and I rely on them for bouncing ideas off and using and adopting some of their ideas.”
