ProfessorClare McArthur

I am interested in showing you the fantastic world of biology and our place in it. My approach to teaching is to treat biology as a vocation. I want to introduce you to the skills and information you'll need to be a biologist, as well as to general skills you could use if you go on to use biology as the basis for another career. Biology is not about learning a bunch of facts that others have generated - it's about weaving current knowledge into your own research to explore the living world. It's about asking exciting research questions and going out and getting the answers; extending both the depth and breadth of our understanding.

I teach in the following units of study:

• Junior - from Molecules to Ecosystems
• Intermediate - Biology experimental design and analysis (unit coordinator)
• Senior - Ecology
• Intermediate & Senior - Terrestrial Field Ecology
• Honours Biology coursework
• Postgraduate coursework - Methods in Applied Ecology
