St. Peter's College Faculty
Hi, my name is Kim Cross and I have been a Biology instructor for 15 years. I started at the University of Saskatchewan in 1994 and have been instructing biology at St. Peter's College since 2001. I have been involved with instruction of many courses over the years. These include: Biology 107 (Biology for non-majors), Biology 110 (past introductory Biology course, now Biol. 120 & 121), Biology 120, Biology 121, Biology 211 (Genetics, now Biology 226), Biology 253 (Ecology, now Biol. 228), Biology 263 (Population Ecology) and Biology 350 (Honours field course).
I love teaching at St. Peter's College and Cumberland Regional College. My philosophy is students should always be the first priority. St. Peter's small class size and sense of community allow this philosophy to be easily fulfilled. In class I try to use everyday examples to keep students interested and throw in the odd lame joke just to make sure they are awake. I also host a website (www.crosswired.ca) to further aid my students. On this site I post lectures and other information relevant to the class. My passion for teaching has also extended into the community college setting. At both Cumberland Regional College and Carlton Trail College I have taught many courses; mainly computers, computer software and photography related.
I grew up on a farm in rural Saskatchewan and after spending a few years in Saskatoon returned to my roots. My wife, son and I live on a small farm near Pleasantdale and love the peaceful lifestyle of this setting. Plus all the wildlife and beautiful scenery appeals to the biologist and photographer in me.
