Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
1. The course comprises ‘pi’ and ‘npi’ portions. And will be conducted according to the ‘pi’ rules.
2. Three continual assessments have to be completed (each 40 points). For dates see above (Contents).
3. An additional examination will be offered on 29 Feb. 2017 for those who were not able to attend one of the continual assessments due to illness or other important reasons (need to be proved), or to compensate for a negative continual assessment. Please check for conflicts with other continual assessments.
4 The course is successfully completed if each continual assessment is passed with at least 21 points. Grading is proportional to the sum of achieved points from all three continual assessments (at least 62 points).
5. Unjustified absence during a continual assessments is evaluated each with 0 points. Only in exceptional cases, a separate alternate date for a failed continual assessment is possible.
6.General attendance is obligatory on the first day of the course. Registered and on the first day unfounded absent persons are permanently excluded from the course.
7. A consequence free, independent cancellation of this course is possible until Sunday, 15 Nov. 2016 via U:Space.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The students will obtain a solid knowledge of methodological approaches in palaeobiology and how to apply this methods for analysing (1) phylogenetic interrelationships of organisms employing morphological and molecular data, (2) the completeness of the fossil record, (3) palaeobiogeographic relations, and (4) diversity and diversification patterns through time
Examination topics
Each course unit will start with an introductory lecture (ca. 90 min) and commences with a practical part (ca. 90 min). Students are supposed to bring their own laptops. Necessary software packages is freely available, but will be provided one week before the session.

Literature will be recommended on the first day of the course.
