I added max_allowed_packet = 100M and wait_timeout=1800. I was able to restore the remainder of the courses, a couple hundred or so, and did not have the issue again. Was either just those few courses or the settings helped get me through the rest of my courses.
Thank you for the additional info. Luckily i didn't need to dig any deeper.
