R – Physical Sciences and Math

On-Demand (online viewing is on your own schedule)

In grade school we were taught that dinosaurs were dull-colored, unintelligent lizards. Some even thought that the largest of the dinosaurs had to have a separate brain in their tails. Discoveries have shown that dinosaurs had intelligence and emotions similar to animals today. With the help of the Great Courses, Paleontologist Kristi Curry Rodgers, and an intriguing novel, we investigate what has been discovered and hypothesized about dinosaurs in the past 60 years. This is a recorded “on-demand” version of a class originally taught in a previous semester. View this class on your own schedule.
