I don’t think it should be a single teacher choosing who receives the awards. That can easily smack of favoritism. Our process is each teacher nominates outstanding students based on pre-established criteria, then the department decides on a “ranking” for these students. If only one teacher thinks you’re deserving, you’re “distinguished”; if four or more do, then you’re “superior” with ranks in between.
