I really enjoyed this course. Dr. Max was really great by letting us into his life and his passion for marine wildlife and sea turtle rehabilitation. Lectures were posted weekly and there were live discussions twice a week. The instructors were very quick to respond and very helpful if you had questions on grading or just wanted to go more into depth about a questions that came up in the discussions. I personally have always been interested in marine life and this course really gave me an insight into what marine veterinary medicine is like. There was a lot of information, but I would recommend this class to anyone curious about marine biology.
