​​The Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences has announced that the Faculty will be recognizing its best online lecturers of 2020, as nominated by students in an online poll. This faculty initiative follows an extremely challenging period of emergency remote teaching.

From 20 to 28 October 2020, undergraduate EMS students vote for any undergraduate lecturer from whom they received emergency remote teaching, and postgraduate EMS students (excluding doctoral students) vote for any postgraduate lecturer from whom they received emergency remote teaching.

In each of the Faculty's seven departments undergraduate lecturers compete for the departmental position as best undergraduate online lecturer, and postgraduate lecturers compete for the departmental position of best postgraduate online lecturer. The University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB) will also nominate its best lecturer.

The names of prize-winners will be announced at a virtual function on 5 November 2020, where the winners will each get an opportunity to share a tip regarding online teaching.
