"Professor Chiu Sung Nok has earned the deep respect and high esteem of his students and colleagues alike for his wholehearted dedication to teaching. Joining the University in 1995, Professor Chiu stands out as a devoted, passionate and inspirational teacher with a distinctive and effective approach to classroom work. With a wealth of experience and wisdom, he is also untiring in his contributions outside the classroom as well as within. Professor Chiu is heavily involved in the teaching of statistics, courses which are highly regarded by students, as reflected in their appreciative feedback. In his approach to teaching, Professor Chiu emphasises not just the results of learning but also the process leading to those results. For example, he encourages students to understand the principles behind the formulae by asking them to invent their own formulae then to see if those formulae work. He also stresses to students the importance of applying class knowledge in their daily lives. Real life examples are incorporated in his courses, enhancing students’ interest in and understanding of the lecture contents."
