Spring 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and Fall 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009: Phys 498 and Phys 499 (Senior seminar and Senior Honors projects)

Spring 2008, 2006, 2007: Phys 661 (Graduate Quantum Mechanics II) (note - prior to 2009, course was labeled Phys 561)

Fall 2007, 2006, 2005: Phys 660 (Graduate Quantum Mechanics I) (note - prior to 2009, course was labeled Phys 560)

Spring 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002: Phys 461/561 (2002-2005) syllabus (Applications of Modern Physics)  (note - prior to 2009, course was known only as Phys 461 and could be taken for graduate credit, post 2009, details of numbering was changed for graduate courses)

Fall 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001: Phys 374 (Advanced Physics Laboratory: Lectures and Labs)

Spring 2002, 2001, 2000 and Fall 2000, 1999: Phys 260 (General Physics III)  (Phys 260 is now renamed as Phys 283)

Spring 2002, 2001, 2000; Phys 262 (General Physics III Laboratory) (now renamed as Phys 284)

and various special topics courses one-on-one with graduate students, 

Prior to 1999 advanced and service undergraduate courses (Computers in physics,  Modern Physics, Electricity and Magnetism, Graduate lab, Advanced UG lab...)

Note that around 2009 - some very confusing numbering changes occurred in the graduate level courses.  Some courses that were previously numbered 5XX changed to 6XX, and some of our 4XX courses (upper level undergraduate/graduate) were required to denote the separate 5XX section in order to distinguish that the section was taught at a graduate level.  For the graduate level courses above, the 'new' numbering is used, and explanations added for when the course was (at the time it was taught) labeled with the old numbers.
