Teaching

I teach a variety of courses that relate to fisheries management, research, and ecology. In addition, I have instructed our graduate teaching practicum course and an undergraduate natural resources conservation course.

5360/7360: Fisheries Management

Semester: Fall

This course will cover the principles, methods, and techniques used in the management of freshwater and marine fisheries resources. Practical, theoretical, and ethical questions are addressed through various course activities, case studies, and discussions.

8300: Age and Growth of Fishes

Semester: Spring

This graduate seminar course increases student understanding of concepts, theories, and practicality of fish age and growth information. We discuss the types, considerations, and assumptions for collecting and using age and growth data, and then dive into understanding how ecological processes influence population dynamics and life history.

FYOS 1001: Conservation Conversations: Discussions on Preventing Loss in Aquatic Systems

Semester: Fall

Aquatic environments - such as rivers, lakes, and oceans - are the lifeblood of our planet. Human reliance on these water systems is necessary but comes at a cost. In this class, we explore the major causes that lead to the declines and discuss how humans can conserve aquatic organisms while still being able to use the resources aquatic environments provide.
