Courses Created
BIOL A138 Genetics and Society. Interdisciplinary course which provides an introduction
to genetics and emphasizes contemporary social and ethical issues in human genetics and
reproductive technology.
- BIOL 0201-894 Plant Systematics. Graduate course dealing with the fundamentals of
taxonomy and systematic analysis and focusing on angiosperm plant families. Lab mainly
dedicated to the identification of plant specimens and field trips.
- BIOL 0210-894 Molecular Genetics. Graduate genetics course dealing with DNA and RNA
structure and synthesis in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and their viruses. Genetics
expression and its control are also discussed. Laboratory in microbial genetics
accompanies lecture.
- BIOL A322 Population Genetics. Majors elective course dealing with genetic variation in
natural populations and its origin, maintenance, and evolutionary significance. The course
is both theoretical and applied with exercises dealing with actual populational data.
- Creative Teaching Techniques
- Videotaped lab procedures that cannot be performed during the scheduled lab period due
to time constraints.
- Designed a library exercise to acquaint freshman majors with the resources available for
doing biology related library research. Upgraded library assignment for juniors in
Biological Research.
- Developed population genetics exercise in Genetics Lab where groups of students are
responsible for isozyme analysis of a local plant population whose genetics is not known
and not previously studied. Students analyze Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for each
polymorphic locus and calculate various polymorphic indices.
- Require students in Population Genetics to find an article from the primary literature
on an assigned topic, to prepare and deliver a 15-min oral summary of the article and to
prepare at least two legitimate exam questions derived from their presentation that all
students in the class are responsible for answering.
