Teaching Summary
I have over 30 years of experience teaching at the university level. Although I have taught a variety of courses, the majority of my teaching assignments have been in quantitative courses for biology majors, such as biostatistics, advanced biostatistics, and biological modeling. I have made use of several types of technological tools such as course management software (Blackboard, WebCT, Moodle, Canvas), commercial and open source software (Excel, SPSS, RStudio, Mathematica), and online simulations (Biology Labs OnLine, Drosophila), many of the latter which I developed. (See section on Courseware). My student evaluations are above the departmental mean and I have positive online reviews. I have also mentored many undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs, with most of them supported on research grants.
