Free Equine Nutrition Course

[ponymagic]

Just seen this link on another forum-

https://www.coursera.org/course/equinenutrition

It's for a free online equine nutrition course. It looks pretty interesting and if it's free...

Thought I'd share in case anyone is interested :smile:

Warning! Warning!

Do not, under any circumstances, look at what else you can study! I seem to have signed up for four more!

Really looking forward to starting them all, specially this one.

There's a Facebook group that someone on HHO set up - perhaps we can get some NRs on there too:

is it a study in your own time course or is it more regimented? I'd be interested provided i could do it as and when. When i'm busy i won't have time for study!

Well it started today, I have watched the vids and read the materials I also did the revision quizz.So far so good , so if i can cope with it I think anyone could:mstickle:

Not had chance to have a proper look yet, only on my phone. I have one of the textbooks at my parent's house so will be digging that out along with my old uni notes, then curling up tonight for a good look.

I'm going to have a look at the stuff tonight with the idea that I pick at it during the week and then finish off anything I've missed on Saturday when I have a bit more free time! Looking forward to it!:smile:

I'm doing this too it's quite good an week one assessment quiz doesn't even need to be done till 18th march although I'd imagine most would do it on the corresponding weeks haha

 

[Rubic]

I've still not had a chance to look at it all and I'm so tired this morning after yesterdays excitement that I hardly slept. I thought I'd do it tonight but I don't think I'll be able to stay awake!... maybe tomorrow!

Week one completed and assessment quiz done. I had a stupidly long break between students yesterday, and managed to watch all the week 1 videos using free WIFI too!

About 4 years ago, the teenage girl who we looked after for a year decided to do the TOCES Horse Management course. She was VERY dyslexic, and could only take in the information if I read it to her. I remember reading out loud, hours and hours of this....and I remembered a lot of it too.

 

[jovi_y2k2]

Week 1 done! Nice bitesize amount of info

 

[Melrose]

Signed up, thank you. :smile:

 

[joellie]

How is everyone getting on with this.
I have found it all very interesting, but have to be honest and say I found the body scoring quite difficult :unsure: the obvious ones ie. very thin , very fat or normal weight was easy to score but slightly under weight or over weight I was getting wrong lol

 

[jovi_y2k2]

I've not managed to do anymore after week 1 because my laptop has broken! :cry:
