Sanna Suoranta

University Lecturer Sanna Suoranta was elected the Computer Science teacher of the year 2025. Sanna received praise for her clear teaching materials, engaging assingments and well-structured instructions. Students appreciated having lectures available online and the fast turnaround time for feedback.

Here are some highlights from the course feedback for CS-A1111 Ohjelmoinnin peruskurssi Y1 and CS-A112 Ohjelmoinnin peruskurssi Y2:

  • The lectures being available online was very useful.
  • Interesting assignments, good material (easy to understand) and very nice staff.
  • I learn by doing, so the assignments were strong plus. Also the fact that the tasks were at each round first easier and the requirements increased with the learning curve.
  • The instructions were super clear and they helped to really understand everything.
  • Tutor availability and fast feedback time was definitely the biggest benefit.
  • I especially enjoyed and appreciated getting to use the skills and information I learned right away.
  • Project was fun!

The teacher award has been granted since 2007. The teacher of the year receives a certificate of honour and a reward of 1000 euros.
