Hi folks-

I just got an inquiry from a high school student looking for on-line
paleontology courses.  UR does not offer any.  Does anybody have any
information on this?  I will forward any replies to her.

Bill

Hello!  I am emailing you regarding any online Paleontology courses
you are aware of.  Is the University of Rochester offering any online
Paleontology courses in the near future?

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend classes at a college at this
point in time because of some medical conditions.  I am finishing my
last two High School courses (my school is a correspondence school)
and my dream is to become a Paleontologist.  Hopefully in the near
future I will be able to participate in some learning adventures at
dig sites.  At this point in time it just isn't feasible.  I am
preparing to start on online Geology course through Indiana
University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Indiana, which is where
I'm from.  I would like to take some classes for my own
self-fulfillment and to also prepare me for when I will be able to
attend college.


Thank you very much,
Jessica Watson
