Teaching & Links to Teaching Materials

If you are unable to use the links below but are interested in viewing or downloading these, please contact me via email.

Course materials that I have developed can be found using the links below; they are free for anyone's use of modification provided they are not sold.

Course Websites and Other Web-Based Teaching Materials:

• Animal Physiology (Biology 390) Hypertext Syllabus and Materials -- all course materials (notes, problems, solutions (as assigned) and readings questions) can be found here as pdf.  This material was last revised in 2018 and the College may soon remove it from their server (see note at the top of the page).

• Teaching Game Theory to Students of Animal Behavior -- This website was developed in collaboration with Dr. Kevin Mitchell at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The site features a hypertext overview of simple game theory as applied to the evolution of behavior.  Note that the three interactive Java simulations of basic games (Hawks and Doves, Hawks, Doves, and Bourgeois, and War of Attrition) need to be revised as they do not meet current security protocols; I had hoped to get to this but it seems that time demands are greater in retirement than I expected!

• Forthcoming: 

  • Lessons from remote teaching during the "covid year."

  • Reflections on teaching, especially at a liberal arts college.
