Teaching
I teach courses for undergraduates and graduate students in Biology and Environmental Studies. Here are the courses I am currently offering at VCU.
- Water (ENV 355) is a core course in the curriculum for undergraduates in Environmental Studies . The course provides a Mountains to the Sea perspective on water processes across the landscape. Students taking this course will gain an understanding of how we monitor, protect and restore streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries and oceans.
My courses emphasize quantitative approaches – statistics, modeling and graphical analyses – as a way of understanding environmental processes and building problem-solving skills. I try to provide students with tools for quantitative analyses and stress their utility without over-stressing the students.
