Appalachian State is a teaching-intensive university, and I teach a variety of undergraduate courses within the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences; these include Introduction to Physical Geology, a writing-intensive research methods class (Preparation for Careers in Earth and Environmental Sciences), Geology Field Methods, and an advanced class (Petrology & Petrography) that involves a combination of intensive lab work and guided independent group research.
