Description
Class Experience
This class examines the endocrine system in an in-depth manner. This is not a college level session by any means, but students will learn the terminology and location of different parts, and most importantly the functions they serve. Medical conditions relating to the hormone-regulating organs will also be expounded on in an informative way. (This is not medical training) This is a great class for those interested in going into the veterinarian field someday, but the knowledge isn't limited...
My goal is that students would be able to bridge the gap from elementary knowledge to college-level knowledge regarding equine anatomy. This is more advanced than basics, but not so complicated as what is taught in veterinarian school. We will also learn about the different medical modalities in horse care.
I have been in the horse industry for over a decade and have professional, academical, and recreational experience in the field.
Supplies for note-taking, but this optional.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
I do not teach students how to treat horses or provide medical training/advice. I have a few general rules that I like to abide by so our classes run smoothly: 1. Avoid interrupting the teacher/other students. I know internet lag can cause overlap, so try to make sure the other person is done talking first to help mitigate this. Raising your hand if you have a question or comment also helps keep things orderly and gives everyone a chance to talk. 2. Participate in class in a quiet room, if possible. If there is background noise, please mute yourself unless you are speaking. 3. Per Outschool policy, parents must stay off camera and not interact with the class (this includes posing as the child in the chat and messaging functions, telling the child what to say or do, challenging/asking/interacting with the teacher). Of course, if your student is having technical difficulties you can help them. I am more than happy to interact with parents outside of class time via Outschool’s private messaging system. 4. Do not distract the class by abusing drawing tools in Zoom. 5. Use the chat box for things relevant to class. I check it every time that it is used and if it is for goofing off it takes away time from other students who are paying attention. 6. Per Outschool policy, all students must turn on their cameras so I can confirm their identity for safety reasons. Once I have confirmed this, I have no problem with them preferring to keep the camera off. 7. If you are having internet connectivity issues, please let me know. 8. If the student will be absent for a class, please let me know ahead of time if possible so I can adjust the class accordingly. 9. Students that are misbehaving get two warnings, then the third offense will result in the child being put in the Zoom waiting room until the class has concluded. No refunds will be given if this has occurred. For any inquiries/comments regarding classes, please message me privately so I can do my best to address your needs. Thanks!
