Sample Course Materials
I can provide a wide variety of coursework aimed at giving students the essential knowledge and skills for success in their life science endeavors and research. My curriculum spans from introductory courses to advanced specialties, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and practical application. Additional courses I am interested in developing include Bioethics, Intro. to Modern Life Sciences Research Methods, Genetics, Cell Biology, Developing Study Habits and more!
Current Courses:
BIO101:
Introduction to Life Sciences and Lab
Introduction to Biology is a foundational survey course examining the core principles that unify the biological sciences. The course explores life across scales—from molecular processes within cells to organismal physiology, population dynamics, and ecosystems—while emphasizing scientific inquiry and evidence-based reasoning.
BIO200:
Microbiology and Lab
Microbiology is an in-depth study of microorganisms, with emphasis on the structure, physiology, genetics, and ecology of bacteria, archaea, viruses, and select eukaryotic microbes. The course examines microbial cell biology, metabolism, gene regulation, horizontal gene transfer, and mechanisms of pathogenesis.
BIO400:
Parasitology and Lab
Parasitology is an advanced survey of the biology, ecology, and pathogenesis of parasitic organisms, including protozoa, helminths, and arthropod vectors. The course examines parasite life cycles, transmission dynamics, host specificity, immune evasion strategies, and mechanisms of disease.
BIO300:
Human Anatomy and Physiology and Lab
Human Anatomy and Physiology is a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function of the human body, emphasizing the integration of organ systems and the physiological mechanisms that maintain homeostasis. The course examines anatomical organization from tissues to organ systems, linking structural features to functional outcomes.
