Systematics courses for undergraduates

[Bill Shear]

I would be interested in reading the experiences of anyone who has taught a
course in systematic biology to undergraduates, or who knows of web pages
for such courses (even graduate courses).

I'm particularly interested in learning about available textbooks and other
readings, and in ideas for laboratories or projects.

Has anyone taught systematic theory in tandem with coverage of
biodiversity--such as a survey of major taxa, with some discussion of
conservation issues?

If you don't think the subject would be of general interest, e-mail me
privately.
