Introduces the student to the dominant life forms of the Mesozoic era, which extended from about 240 million years to 65 million years before the present. The unifying themes used throughout the course are concerned with the evolution diversification, and classification of the dinosauria, the most familiar, successful, yet least understood terrestrial vertebrates of all time. By examining the geological and ecological setting of the Mesozoic in conjunction with the fossilized remains, the student should gain insight into the nature of these enigmatic animals. The dinosaur studies at both the professional and popular levels will also be examined, through discussion of some of the controversies surrounding dinosaur classification, extinction, physiology and behavior. Prerequisite: Placement above or successful completion of ENG 060 (EN 2103) and eligibility for ENG 101 (EN 1103). Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in ENG 075 (EN 2122) or ENG 085 (EN 2131) if CPT reading placement test is between 68 and 75. General Education Electives: Science
