BIOL 413 - Ecological Analyses
This course is an introduction to the application of analytical methods for addressing common ecological problems. Particular emphasis is placed on: sampling design, formulating hypotheses, statistical inference and the communication process. Students learn to analyze data by applying the scientific method to ecological approach and will become familiar with the Rcmdr package from the R statistical software.
Fall 2013
BIOL 412 - Wildlife Ecology
This course covers the general ecology and biology of wildlife species, including physiology, behaviour, nutrition, endocrinology and genetics.
Winter 2013
BIOL 210 - Genetics - LINK to videos
This course cover the principles of modern and classical genetics. An introductory course which will provide the student with a solid foundation in classical, molecular and population genetics.
NRES 421 - Professional Writing
This course provides a structured environment in which students learn and apply professional report writing. Topics include development of a research question or problem statement, accessing and properly citing information and references, synthesis and organization of information, report structure and formatting.
Fall 2012
BIOL 308 - Ornithology and Mammalogy
This course seeks to familiarize students with the identification, comparative anatomy and evolution of birds and mammals. Particular reference is made to species endemic to British Columbia. There is a strong lab component and students are expected to maintain a field notebook in which they record observation of species during weekly outings.
NRES 421 - Professional Writing
This course provides a structured environment in which students learn and apply professional report writing. Topics include development of a research question or problem statement, accessing and properly citing information and references, synthesis and organization of information, report structure and formatting.
All the course I teach are administered by the Ecosystem Science and Management program, and are associated with the BSc Natural Resource Management, particularly the Wildlife and Fisheries Major.
