Courses
Fall 2007
- EEB 396 Special Topics: Ultrastructure of green algae and bryophytes. Contact me for information or see the web site.
Spring 2008
- During alternate spring semesters (next in 2008) I will co-teach Evolution of Green Plants with Dr. Bernard Goffinet.
Fall 2008
- I also teach Biology of the Algae (co-listed as EEB 290 and EEB 390) in alternate fall semesters (2006, 2008...).
Spring 2009
- I am involved in teaching introductory biology for majors, Biology 108, usually in alternate spring semesters (2009, 2011...). This course web site is accessed using Vista.
