PHOTO FROM LANA MOE.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>An assistant professor for the Construction Management program at Honolulu Community College, Takeya was honored for his subject mastery, effectiveness, creativity and personal values. <\/p>\n<p>The quiet educator was pleased with the award, but he was most happy about how his students rated his testing procedures on the website. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was happy with 3.0 for hardness,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause that means I am giving them the appropriate tests that are not too easy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The award commended Takeya for his support of his students beyond the classroom, having spent many hours helping students find employment in the industry and participating in industry organizations. Takeya is adviser for the college\u2019s National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) student chapter. <\/p>\n<p>With his help, the team received first-place honors at the NAHB awards ceremony Jan. 13 in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuch appreciation goes out to Mr. Takeya for pushing us to succeed in our career choice of becoming construction managers, and to our local NAHB chapter BIA Hawaii for being a great support to all of our endeavors,\u201d said Lana Moe, HCC construction management student and chapter president. <\/p>\n<p>Moe was one of three students who nominated Takeya for the award, calling him an \u201cexemplary instructor\u201d who \u201cprovided a positive and supportive learning community.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Potential medal winners are nominated by students or faculty members, and then go through a vigorous selection process that can take three months. As the latest winner, it now will be up to Takeya to help identify future winners. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to helping, just not yet. I\u2019m way too busy.\u201d For his victory, Takeya received a medal and $1,000 \u2014 but, sadly, no tenure. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, that would be really nice,\u201d he said with a laugh. And as far as his hotness, he dismisses the notion but appreciates his students\u2019 lighthearted voting. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive-foot-7, and 250 pounds? Come on. I\u2019m more of a grumpy old man.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norman Takeya is an A-plus educator with red pepper hotness, at least according to ratemyprofessors.com.
