Invertebrate Paleontology course syllabus and links
This "web syllabus" is designed as a supplement for the Invertebrate Paleontology course at The College of Wooster. For course specifics, please see the notes at the end of this page. Don't miss the systematics listing. Following each week's topics I will add links, images and other items to illustrate the material and provide additional information (and alternative views). This is a living document, so it will change weekly, sometimes daily, during the semester. I may be only a week ahead in the addition of links and other items. You can think of this page as a web newsletter for the course. If you have ideas for this page, please send me a message. You may also want to refer to our "Invertebrate Paleontology at Wooster" webpage and our History of Life course webpage.

Geology Confronts Creationism
The anti-geology of Creationism gives us a chance to strengthen the conceptual foundation of geology as we learn how to respond. Our task in this seminar course will be to study the geological arguments of Creationism and then address them in various ways. Our primary work will be to develop written position papers and arguments in several forms. This course is thus "writing-intensive" in the sense of the new College curriculum requirements (which do not affect you). The details of the writing and other assignments are covered in the course notes following the schedule of topics below. It is important to note that this is not a course in religion, and it certainly is not designed as a threat to religious beliefs. We will study and discuss scientific evidence and ideas, regardless of their origins. We will also be careful not to imply that geologists and other scientists are always correct; indeed, the mistakes scientists make are often important parts of Creationist arguments. This "web syllabus" is a living document for this course. It will change every week, sometimes every day, as we add additional links and discussion topics. In a sense, this syllabus is a combined schedule and newsletter. Plan to check it regularly. Often our assignments will be drawn directly from Creationist and geological material posted on the web.
