Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course offers the possibility to study the morphology and evolution of vertebrates in an exciting and active vertebrate research environment. The course highlights vertebrate palaeobiology topics including the evolutionary history of all major vertebrate groups and major events in vertebrate evolution. You also will learn about the science of vertebrate palaeobiology, have the opportunity to undertake research on exciting fossil vertebrates and vertebrate palaeobiological topics, practice how to write short, high-impact papers and to effectively communicate research results to your fellow students and the public.
Assessment and permitted materials
The course contains pi and npi parts and is completed in the form of a module examination according to the pi rules.
For this, two assessments (50 points each) will be conducted, consisting of a presentation on a topic relevant to the course (the topics are assigned at the beginning of the course) as well as a written final test (single-choice) on June 27, 2023.
Literature is available for preparation for the lecture. Aids are not permitted for the written test.
