TEACHING  EXPERIENCE

BD15035_

Since starting at USC in 1991, my formal teaching has alternated between BIOL 301 – Ecology and Evolution, a large required course for biology majors, and BIOL 652 – Evolutionary Genetics, a required course for incoming graduate students. I have also organized numerous graduate level seminar courses, and taught BIOL 270 – Environmental Science, on multiple occasions. Much of my non-classroom teaching has focused upon mentoring students in research.
