I develop and run undergraduate laboratories and tutorials for the Biology Department. Current courses: BIOL212 (Scientific Methods in Biology); BIOL200 (Diversity of Life)

Assisted with the collection/video analysis of sperm motility for three projects: "Reproductive senescence in Lake Trout" (in collaboration with Dr. Mike Rennie, and Dr. Jay Treberg), "Does freezing influence the effect of ovarian fluid on sperm motility?"(October 2017 - Experimental Lakes Area, Ontario), and "Life history stages, and hybridization of Atlantic salmon and Brown trout" (November 2017 - Memorial University, Newfoundland). I am preparing the manuscript for a study investigating the affects of temperature on thermal incubation period in Atlantic salmon.

ERSC/BIOL4240 - Fisheries Assessment and Management. - In this course, we examine the principles and practices of fisheries assessment and management from an ecological, technical, economic and planning/policy context. The subject matter will focus on Canadian fisheries (marine and freshwater) but will also cover fisheries world wide. Several guest speakers provide insights on the field from a variety of perspectives. This year we added a field trip to a local hatchery & a new debate-style activity to highlight various controversies in fisheries.

BIOL4210: Ichthyology - Fish are the most diverse vertebrate group on the planet, including over 34 000 species. They have evolved into an astonishing variety of physical forms allowing them to inhabit a wide range of environments. In this course, we explore how to classify and document this diversity, and learn how morphological and physiological features have evolved to deal with specific environmental challenges. This course is designed to emphasize active, student-directed learning, and highlights the power of creative communication in science.

Ph.D student studying the capacity for rapid adaptation to novel climates using non-native populations as model systems.

Developed and presented lectures and labs for a 3rd year undergraduate course on Fish Ecology (BIOL3140)

ERSC/BIOL4240 - Fisheries Assessment and Management. - In this course, we examine the principles and practices of fisheries assessment and management from an ecological, technical, economic and planning/policy context. The subject matter will focus on Canadian fisheries (marine and freshwater) but will also cover fisheries world wide. The term "fisheries" includes shellfish and marine mammals as well as fish, but the emphasis in this course will be on the latter. Several guest speakers will provide insights on the field from a variety of perspectives

Organized and ran/graded an "Age and Growth" Lab for a 3rd year undergraduate Fish Ecology course, and a 5 week "Fertilization Lab" for a 4th year undergraduate Fisheries Management course

Taught the laboratory components for a third year undergraduate summer course in Fish Ecology with Dr. William Dew

Leading lectures and laboratory exercises for a third year undergraduate summer course (Fish Ecology). Responsibilities include developing and presenting lecture and laboratory material, marking exams and lab reports. To promote student interest in fish and fisheries research we also run a course Facebook page, tweet course updates using #FishyTrent, and this semester we organized an optional field trip to Ripley's Aquarium,

Leading laboratory exercises and marking assignments. Courses Include:- Current Issues in Biology 1 & 2 (2010-2011) - Biology Department (1st year course)- Fish Ecology (2011*2013) - Biology Department (3rd year course)- Fisheries Assessment and Management (2012-2014) - Environmental and Resources Studies Department (4th year course)

Leading lectures, and laboratory & field exercises for a third year undergraduate course (Fish Ecology). Responsibilities include developing lectures and leading hands-on exercises. Special attention was paid to developing data analysis techniques and proper scientific writing. This semester we started a course Facebook page to foster student interest in fish and fisheries research, and we organized an guest lecture and pub night sponsored by the Ontario Chapter of the American Fisheries Society to provide students with the opportunity to socialize with local fisheries scientists. Course co-taught with Ann Rocchi
