兩棲類的崛起：從Temnospondyls到 Lissamphibians

Students will be taught about the evolution of what is traditionally classified as Amphibians and their evolutionary history. 
The primary topics covered will be each of the Families and Genera that are classified under the umbrella of Amphibia. However this class will also go into how Amphibian is a useful, but archaic scientific term as well, in order to give students a better understanding of the evolutionary relationships.
The class will primarily be structured along following the timeline of evolution for Amphibia. As an example we will first look at the most basal members of a group and what are the major defining features of the group. Then the next class would focus on a major branch and continue to follow that group and its descendant branches. Eventually once that branch is fully completed, then we would return to the next major branch. 
I will teach using a mixture of images, video clips, and interactive dialogue. 
My teaching style can best be described as interactive. I like to encourage my students to raise their hand and ask questions, and ask for their thoughts and provide input.
Learners will primarily get to interact with me through discussion.

An example of a schedule would be:
Week of Jan 14: What counts as an amphibian
Week of Jan 21: Early Batrachomorphs
Week of Jan 28: Edopoids
Week of Feb 4: Dvinosaurs
Week of Feb 11: Branchiosaurs
Week of Feb 18: Dissorophids
