BIO 401: Elephant Management and Medicine (Online)

I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Elephant Management and Medicine course lead by Dr. Erica Ward. I learned so much about the whole elephant and Thai culture. I enjoyed the addition of culture and history to the course instead of a pure science course just learning about the body. Dr. Erica Ward was very accommodating, quick at responding to emails, and always kept checking in on how we were doing with the course. I also enjoyed the addition of other voices, such as elephation, and Dr. Heather Anholt. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, and hopefully I can attend a loopabroad course in person next time!

I really enjoyed this course and could have not asked for a better one! My current college does not teach courses that are focused on just one animal so I was looking for some alternatives I could take. I learned so much from this course and really enjoyed how most of it was able to be done on my own time. Making this easier when you have a crazy busy schedule. I think the time frame and material we learned was just perfect! The instructor was great and always answered questions. I enjoyed the guest lectures and all the informative assignments. I have even more compassion for elephants because of this course.
