GEOL20230 History of life on Earth
The fossil record is the principal source of data on the history of life on Earth. This module provides an introduction to the geological record of key groups of plant and animals, and what this reveals about their evolutionary biology. The module also discusses how this date informs on the macroevolution of these groups and the different applications in Earth and Environmental Science, including relative dating of rocks, reconstructing paleoenvironments including how ecosystems respond to environmental change at local to global scales. The module should be relevant to anyone with a general interest in natural sciences, including, but not only, Geology, Earth and Environmental Science, Geography, and Biology.

REVIEWSMODULE INFO
Really interesting module & MCQs aren't too difficult. I really enjoyed the module, but wouldn't recommend taking it if you are in final year, purely down to the workload involved. Otherwise, it was one of my favourite modules!
Personally found lectures really long and boring, with hours of more material than other electives. Would avoid at all costs imo
Super engaging lectures, easy to do well in MCQ exam! Very popular and good elective choice - especially to boost your GPA when it counts
