Teaching

I teach a graduate course (FW854) entitled "Adaptive Management of Renewable Resource Systems", which is offered in the fall semester of odd-numbered years.  This is the only course I teach, and I love teaching, so I aim to make the class a mutually enjoyable experience. The course introduces students to the challenge of dealing with uncertainty when managing fish and wildlife resources. We examine the literature on this subject, with emphasis on adaptive management and decision analysis.  We learn about basic quantitative techniques of modeling and risk assessment. And we work together on a realistic case study, wherein we aim to apply what we have learned from the readings, discussion and computer assignments. To find out more about the course, see the syllabus and outline for the most recent offering of FW854 (fall 2005). You can also find a reading list for the course here (You will need Acrobat reader to review these documents)
