Camille is the Coordinator for the third year Research Methods in Ecology / Wildlife Conservation /  and Marine Biology III BSc courses, which focus on statistical modelling, data management, and statistical computing using R.

Currently teaching:

ENV BIOL 3510/3520/3540 - Research Methods in Ecology / Wildlife Conservation / Marine Biology III

Research Methods in Ecology / Wildlife Conservation / Marine Biology III introduces systematic methods of design, collection, analysis and reporting of field and laboratory ecological data, for practical applications in the disciplines of ecology, wildlife conservation biology, and marine biology. Lectures outline the quantitative nature of ecological research and the value of robust sampling strategies and experimental methods.
