Irina Pavlova, a teacher of the DASS Master's program and deputy head of the ANR-Lab, received the title of the best teacher of the Higher School as voted by students of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Also, when calculating the teacher's rating, the votes of graduates who took part in the annual autumn Monitoring of graduates and postgraduate students who graduated from the master's program in 2024 are taken into account.
Irina teaches several courses for students of the Master's program "Data Analytics and Social Statistics":
- Categorical Data Analysis

Here is what the students and graduates who voted for Irina this year say:
