Classes Taught at Quest University Canada
From 2010-2014, I was a Professor of Physical Science at Quest University. Quest is on the block system; professors teach one class at a time, and students take one class at a time. Below are lists of classes that I taught while there. Warning: the links are all currently broken. The server where my course web pages lived has gone through a rebirth (and handover to another professor), so none of the pages are live any more. I will strive to get the content back up on my private web server in the not-too-distant future.

Classes Taught at Vanderbilt University
From 2001-2007 I was on the faculty of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University. I still have a list of classes and websites from courses I taught there online.
