Description
Class Experience
In this class, students will learn about horse pathology, also known as equine veterinarian medicine. This class is purely informative, and does not qualify as medical training nor do I recommend students attempt to implement it as such. A veterinarian must always be consulted when infection/disease is present. That being said, there is still valuable information that all horse enthusiasts should be privy to. This information is more advanced than elementary, but it is not college level by...
I want students to have a confident understanding of common and rare infections and diseases that can afflict horses. I also want students to have a basic understanding of keeping horses healthy. For those going into the large animal veterinarian field, I hope this excites and motivates them to pursue their career of choice. Also I hope this course helps prep them for the schooling ahead. For those who don't wish to purse veterinarian medicine, I hope that they will be better equipped horse owners or future horse owners.
I have over a decade of hands-on recreational, education, and professional experience in the equine industry.
Supplies for note taking are recommended but not required.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will be asked questions during "check-in" time.
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Semi-graphic images and discussion of horse infections and diseases will be included. I do my best to make my students as comfortable as possible, but I will advise this isn't a class for squeamish individuals. Canva is used for the slide presentation. No account creation necessary. 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!
