Information on the term paper option
I gave you an old midterm, from Winter 2002, which you don't need any more. It was meant to give you a feel for the style of questioning and the length of the exam.
I gave you a key for that midterm.
Here are the scores from the 2003 midterm.
Here is the key: you have to read the key before you talk to me about your exam. I graded all the ***'s myself, so of course there are no mistakes :)
Here is last year's final.
Here are your results
Here is a key to final A
Here is a key to final B
This is a page where I post items of Paleontology in the News
There is (in my opinion) no suitable book. So I will provide some electronic mini-essays on most of the topics we cover. These will NOT necessarily be provided for each lecture, and in any case they are NOT my lecture notes. You should take your own notes. The mini-essays and Web links are placed here in lecture sequence. They may be updated as the quarter goes on, so watch for new items and revised items.
