Current courses that I teach or to which I contribute:

Entomology 5004: Graduate seminar course
This course is designed to develop graduate students into critical and constructive peer reviewers. This will be accomplished through two specific course goals: (1) To allow graduate students to develop a customized seminar schedule during the academic semester. Students may select from the array of offerings in the sciences on the Blacksburg campus and at conferences, with priority given to the Entomology seminar series. (2) To allow graduate students to develop relevant skills as research consumers, particularly for peer reviewing. 


Entomology 2254: Bees and Beekeeping (Lead instructor: Dr. James Wilson)
This course is designed to provide students with (1) a knowledge of honey bee biology, (2) an understanding of modern beekeeping practices and management techniques, and (3) a knowledge of the importance of the honey bee to modern agriculture and its use for crop pollination. Dr. Couvillon contributes 2 lectures on honey bee foraging and recruitment behaviors.

Potential future courses under development:

I am in the process of developing future courses, particularly an upper level undergraduate course in social insect biology. Please check back here or contact me for details.
