Here's a listing of courses I've taught in the past, and
will likely teach in the future. Specific offerings vary with year and
semester, so be sure to check the University Schedule of Classes for each
term's courses.
Courses for Biology Majors
- General Biology Laboratory (BIL 151) - In this laboratory course, students engage in critical thinking, hypothesis testing, and experimental design and execution in such areas as cell structure, metabolism, genetics, and homeostasis.
Corequisite: BIL
150 (General Biology for science majors).
- Evolution and Biodiversity (BIL 160) - Evolutionary theory, systematics, ecology, and behavior.
Corequisite: BIL 161
- Evolution and Biodiversity Laboratory (BIL 161) - Hypothesis testing, experimental design and interactive
exercises in population genetics, evolutionary processes, animal and plant structure, function, and behavior.
Corequisite: BIL
160
- General Botany (BIL
226) - The systematics, anatomy and physiology of Viridiplantae.
Prerequisite: one year of biology for science majors with laboratory
- Genetics (BIL
250) - One of the four upper division core courses for biology majors,
this course provides a higher-level study of molecular, Mendelian, and
evolutionary genetics.
Prerequisite: one year of biology for science majors with laboratory
- Biology and Gender (BIL
375) - In this seminar course, students exercise
their critical thinking skills by analyzing recent
research in the evolution and biological determination of gender and sexual
preference and behavior in that friskiest of primates,Homo sapiens.
Prerequisite: one year of biology for science majors with laboratory
Courses for Non-science Majors
- BIL
104, Genetics and Society - Basic biochemistry, cell structure and function, elementary molecular, Mendelian and evolutionary Genetics, and biotechnology.
- BIL
105 - Plant structure and function, systematics, evolution and ecology for the non-science major. Economic importance of plants to human society.
- Elementary Zoology (BIL
106) - Survey of the major taxa of Kingdom Animalia includes
their systematics, ecology, and behavior. Evolutionary theory provides the central framework for all topics.
