Thoroughly enjoyed this course! As a foster and adopted "mom" to a variety of
animals, I took this course in hopes of expanding my knowledge in order to
someday foster or adopt horses/ponies. I came from a very limited/almost zero
knowledge of horses and finished the course with a lot of knowledge and
confidence that I could feed a proper diet to horses and ponies, even some
with special needs. The material was presented in an easy-to-grasp manner and
the PDF slides were very helpful. I really loved the (non-graded) revision
quizzes as a prep for the graded quizzes! Dr Jo-Anne Murray, the instructor,
was personable and I appreciated the time she and the rest of the team ~ Jayne
Roberts, Wendy Watson, Joan Kulifay, and Dr Anne Stevenson ~ put into the
course and the course forum answering questions and creating a pleasant
environment. The only "complaint" I might have is that Dr Murray seemed a
little stiff in front of the camera. Her class communications via the forums
and in the weekly briefings were very positive, engaging and encouraging and I
would have loved to have seen that express itself more vibrantly in the video
lectures. She obviously knows her subject well, so seeing her speak a little
more spontaneously would have been a treat and would have made the course a
touch more engaging. Her delivery was professional and the slides and class
information presented were thorough and helped me to feel like less of an
absolute beginner and more prepared to take on the challenge of caring for a
horse. I would gladly take further courses on this subject from Dr Murray and
her team. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to expand knowledge on horses
and ponies or anyone generally seeking more knowledge. As for the University
of Edinburgh ~ this is the fourth course I've taken from University of
Edinburgh and I've found all of the courses fun and interesting. I'm highly
impressed with this institution and its instructors. Looking forward to more
courses from them in the future.
