Dr. Kissoon-Charles teaches the following courses at Missouri State University:
Fall semester:
Biology in Your World (BIO 101): This course is for non-majors and gives an introduction to cellular and molecular biology, evolution, biodiversity, human body systems, and ecology.
Limnology (BIO 562): This course focuses on lake formation, physical causes and effects of stratification, water chemistry, biodiversity, and productivity. The lab and field component of this course provides hands-on applications of concepts and methods used in limnology.
Spring semester:
Biology in Your World (BIO 101): This course is for non-majors and gives an introduction to cellular and molecular biology, evolution, biodiversity, human body systems, and ecology.
Aquatic Botany (BIO 529, odd years): In this course we will explore the biology and ecology of algae and plants that occur in permanently or seasonally wet environments. The lab and field component of this course provides opportunities to identify distinguishing characteristics of native and invasive aquatic vegetation and to observe them in their natural habitat.
Water Resources (BIO 547, even years): This is an online course, which focuses on water quantity and quality at local and global scales, and the complexity of water resource issues from both scientific and public policy perspectives.
Ecotoxicology (BIO 597, even years): This course focuses on the major classes of pollutants, their fate in the environment, and effects on populations, communities, and ecosystems.
