Module/Course Convenor:
BIOS3015 Plants and the Soil Environment (3rd year UG; since spring 2018).
BIOS1060 GIS for Environmental Management (1st year UG; new compulsory module beginning Spring 2023).

Module/Course Contributor:
LIFE1030 Life on Earth (1st year UG; 200+ students; 2016 - current); I run the first plant practical teaching students observational skills to make their own plant key in a lab before using their key outside. 
BIOS1011 Tutorials in Environmental Science (1st year UG; 2015 - current); teaching key skills around finding and using literature, data presentation and writing scientific reports.

BIOS2026 Applied Plant Physiology (2nd year UG; 2017 - current); I give two two-hour lectures on water movement in plants and an introduction to hormone physiology.
BIOS2089 Field Skills (2nd year UG since 2019); Train the students in basic plant ID traits and students make their own dichotomous plant key.
BIOS2080 Forest Ecology (2nd year UG since 2019); Teaching UK tree ID (developed a local tree key and 'Treesure hunt' using ActionBound to support their training - particularly for COVID years where in person sessions were difficult); lecture on fire ecology (Australian case study). 
BIOS2071 Environmental Science In Practice (2nd year UG since 2018) mark presentations.

Past contributions
Convened: C112P1 Plant Science (1st year UG; springs of 2018 and 2019).
D224E5 Research and Professional Skills for Environmental Scientists (2nd year UG; 2015 - current); 
training students presentation skills through practice talks and feedback before the formal marked presentations; two two-hour sessions.
