Teaching

This page provides a short overview over my teaching philosophy and my teaching interests, which are almost completely in evolutionary biology. During the academic year of 2006/2007 I was a Lecturer in Evolutionary Genetics at the University of Edinburgh.

 

Laurence Loewe: Teaching

 

Teaching at universities is of paramount importance, as it educates the scientists of the future and helps to promote understanding of science in the general public by educating those students who will not become scientists themselves. In my lectures I try to have something for everyone: a basic frame that is easy enough to understand for the majority and additional information that gives brighter students more to think about. More details are available upon request.

During the academic year 2006/2007 I taught on the following courses at the University of Edinburgh, while covering the teaching duties of Prof. Nick Barton (homepage; book):

  • Foundations of evolution
    (4x2h, MSc in Evolution of Language and Cognition)
  • Introduction to population genetics
    (2x1h, MSc Quantitative Genetics & Genome Analysis)
  • Evolution of sex & breeding systems (course website)
    (2x2h + course organization, 4th year honours students)
  • Major transitions in evolution
    (2x2h, Animal Evolution, 4th year honours students))
  • Speciation
    (2x1h lectures + tutorials, Ecological Genetics, 3rd year biology students)
  • Evolution honours tutorials
    (2x1h, advanced topics, 4th year honours students)
  • Evolutionary genetics module (course website)
    (4x2h lectures + practicals + course organization, MSc in Quantitative Genetics & Genome Analysis)
