FOR3004F: Forest Management Decision Support System (1996-97)<br />
FOR1413S: Economics <strong>of</strong> Forest Conservation (1996-97)<br />
Out <strong>of</strong> these nine courses, I designed six courses (FOR3006H, FOR3003F, FOR1460F,<br />
FOR1461F, FOR1413S, and FOR3004F), and taught during the years as shown above.<br />
Other three courses are general courses <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Faculty</strong>, and all faculty members contribute<br />
to those courses.<br />
In recent years, I have been teaching two courses regularly – FOR3003F, and<br />
FOR1460F. I always strive for highest satisfaction <strong>of</strong> my students from my teaching, and<br />
every year I put lot <strong>of</strong> efforts in modifying course contents and teaching methods as per<br />
students’ observations expressed through course evaluations.<br />
Students had major concerns about FOR3006H for many years prior to 2006-07. So, in<br />
2006-07, I volunteered to redesign and teach this course. I have been highly successful in<br />
addressing students’ concerns, and in 2006-07 (when I taught this course first time), the<br />
course evaluation was highly satisfactory.<br />
7.2 Undergraduate Courses<br />
FOR302H: Societal Values and Forest Management (2004-05 to 2007-08)<br />
FOR303F: Society and Forests (2001-02 to 2003-04)<br />
FOR302H: Forest Management and Resource Allocation (2000-01 and 2001-02)<br />
INI496H: Environmental Accounting (1997-98 to 1999-2000)<br />
Out <strong>of</strong> these four courses, I designed three courses (INI496H, FOR303H, and FOR302H<br />
(Societal Values and Forest Management)). FOR302H: Forest Management and Resource<br />
Allocation was co-designed by Pr<strong>of</strong>. David Balsillie and myself and we jointly taught that<br />
course in 2000-01 and 2001-02. However, on the retirement <strong>of</strong> Dr. Balisillie, I totally<br />
redesigned that course, and I have been teaching that course for the last few years. Similar<br />
to graduate courses, every year I put lot <strong>of</strong> efforts in modifying course contents and<br />
teaching methods <strong>of</strong> this course as per students’ observations expressed through course<br />
evaluations. The course has been highly successful, and is one the third year forestry courses<br />
which have attracted maximum number <strong>of</strong> students.<br />
7.3 Other Courses<br />
I have been <strong>of</strong>fering regularly Natural Resource Management (FOR1412H) and Advanced<br />
Topics in <strong>Forestry</strong> (FOR1900H) as directed studies. In addition to these cours, I have been<br />
contributing to FOR 3000H: Current Issues and Approaches in Forest Conservation, and<br />
FOR 1580H: <strong>Forestry</strong> in the Developing World.<br />
7.4 Special Courses Designed and Taught<br />
In 2007-08, I designed a short-course on “Timber Pricing and Competitiveness <strong>of</strong> Forest<br />
Industry”, and the course was taught on November 7-8, 2007, at the Canadian Ecology<br />
