Golden corduroy jacket award 2013
 
Award text:
"The award goes to Dr Kostya Trachenko. It is awarded for his performance under "deep end" school of lecturing conditions, to wit: Dr Trachenko distinguished himself  by delivering his first ever undergraduate lecture course in an exemplary fashion under highly demanding conditions (Waves and Oscillations being a first semester, first year module being delivered for the first time). It was clear from his interactions with students and staff throughout the year that Kostya took great care over this module, its delivery and the students. The exam results and staff and student feedback reflect this clearly. One could even say that he has put some of us, more experienced lecturers, to shame."
