Dmmetler Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 https://athenasacademy.com/registration-enrollment/webinar-schedules-spring-2019/ Just in case anyone is interested. DD will be teaching another session of Introduction to Herpetology in the Spring, and would love to have more of your awesome kids in the group :).

JenneinCA Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Do you know if the course content is a repeat of the earlier herpetology? I am trying to decide if it makes sense for my son to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) The focus is more on general characteristics of each group, while the second class is more focused on adaptations and anatomy. There’s some overlap, but they are designed to be complementary. The whole reason why there are two was that a decent number of kids wanted more herpetology :). And both get revised due to new information and research. She’s considering a “Fantastic Beasts and where to find them” biogeography class, but it’s just in the idea stage now :).

Dmmetler Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 If he's done INtro to herp, yes, the content will be repeated as far as the general information, with new material added as research comes out, etc. There have been several kids who have done that one twice, since there wasn't a 2nd class yet last year and seemed to enjoy it. He also might like the Marine Bio/Marine Mammals classes-they're very similar in feel to herpetology (probably because they are both taught by extremely enthusiastic teens ? ).
