WELCOME TO THE RG UNIVERSITY OF HERPETOLOGY

Herptile Intelligence Center
RG University of Herpetology (RGU)

Welcome EVERYONE to the Herptile Intelligence Center, (HIC) this group is the RG University of Herpetology! My Name is Christopher M. Vaughn also known as Lucius_Dahlia. The group you have entered is primarily defined as Herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians. This is an educational group that will conduct a series of studies involving the general and specific topics of Herptiles. The information I will be using will be from text books, encyclopedias, and articles from universities and societies based on Herpetology

ABOUT THIS CLASS

In 2008 this was like a real online class with a few glitches, After reviewing the activity and overall participation I found that it is very difficult to run a class when (Me included) have a tough time keeping up with a real-time class. As for now, this group will become a huge place for self-education in the field of Herpetology. Post will consist of encyclopedias, college text books, reference guides, internet relations, From the chemistry to biology, and across the field of reptile veterinary medicine for any owner, vet assistant, technician, and technologist. My goal here on RG is create a self sustaining free online college of all the sciences & arts to be applied in our daily lives with our scaly pets.

HOW THIS CLASS WORKS

Quizzes/Assignments/Attendance/Extra Credit = will no longer be graded by me, but graded by yourselves. Whether you are browsing for information, or have a specific question hopefully you can find it here or at least start a new discovery to help build this structure of this group. To give you an idea there will various post of valuable material, along with these individual forums you will have access to quizzes, assignments, test, and other misc. These you can do on your time and your own pace for your convient learning. You keep track of all your or you can choose not to do anything except read. There is no obligations required, you don't need to even sign up for the group, just as long you are an RG member and have a self dedication to learning and understanding Herptiles in depth.

Why am I doing this? Because I believe that everyone who loves and hates Herptiles should be educated to the full extent, so that in real world situations, people like you can make a better decision using logic, methods, materials, and knowledge that you have obtained. I just feel that everyone should be educated whether or not you need it!

---

Important! I am not a professor, I am a college student. I am not teaching you, I am just providing valuable information that you teach and learn yourself. I am not the only one who can post information. I am here to learn with you and answer questions best to my ability. The questions I cannot answer will make a great research journey. Don’t wait around for someone to tell you this stuff, find out yourself and with friend within or without this group.
If plagiarism has been discovered I will immediately remove you from this group and then write up a report.

So lets get STARTED!
Any request about a certain science or species of the Herptile world is more than welcome, just e-mail me and I will do what I can.

Remember that this group is only a year old. So there will be a lot of adjustments and tweaks to repair and mend. So try to understand that this class will always be evolving towards a better education!
