Courses Taught 1995 - 2021
Summary: Extensive experience teaching environmental, organismal, and statistics courses at undergraduate and graduate level and for majors and non-majors. Experienced with large classroom (> 50 students), small classroom (< 25 students), laboratory, field (out-doors), and online teaching. I have developed over 25 courses since 2003, chaired a major curriculum revision (departmental level), and served as the math and science representative on the downward expansion committee which involved collaborating with faculty from all disciplines at the institution and together developing all freshman and sophomore coursework and sequences for general studies curriculum and honors curriculum.
