My teaching focuses on Introductory Biology [BioG 102]for majors and is taken by a large number [>500] Biology majors and ancillary majors who are mostly freshmen. This is the second semester of a year-long survey course in biology. I also taught an Undergraduate Invertebrate Biology seminar to 13 students in the Fall.,My teaching focuses on Introductory Biology [BioG 102]for majors and is taken by a large number [>500] Biology majors and ancillary majors who are mostly freshmen.
