Current
Most recently, I have taught Fundamental of Biology II (LIFE 121), a required course for all Life Sciences related majors across the university. Sporadically, I teach the graduate course Likelihood & Bayesian Ecology (BIOS 952).

Tools
The following software tools can be used to examine systems of differential equations and conduct maximum likelihood analysis. They are written as Mathematica notebooks. Wolfram CDF Player is a free program that can be used to view Mathematica notebooks (*.nb); however, you will need a full version of Mathematica to execute the code.

Past
In the past I have taught Principles of Ecology (BIOS 805), a graduate course for the begninning students in Ecology, Evolution & Behavior.
For many years I taught Ecology & Evolution (BIOS 207), an undergraduate course required for a biology major or biology minor. The last few times, I taught this in the summer at Cedar Point Biological Station.
For one semester I taught Biostatistics for undergraduate students.
I taught a maximum likelihood course as part of the program Enhancing Linkages in Mathematics and Ecology (ELME) at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station, and in summer 2018 Introduction to Theoretical Ecology.
