    Great material

    I think this presentation is insightful and has clear and concise examples of asphyxiation deaths. However, there is an anatomical mistake labeling the thyroid cartilage as the larynx. I would also suggest that the first hanging video is enough to demonstrate the events leading to death. The other two have poor video quality and on an emotional basis it was tough to watch three suicide videos in a row. I enjoyed this course very much though. Thank you.

    title

    I honestly learned a lot from this course. Very well put together. Great examples. I also appreciate that the "image to prove that your watching" wasnt put at the suicide videos. There was a part in one of the videos where i did have to close my eyes and take a deep breath to continue. I completely understand why they are part of the course and appreciate that they were added. I work with people after they have passed away but I havent had a video of them committing suicide. I feel like I will be better prepared now for if that does happen.

    Misleading questions

    You really need to review your grammar in your questions. In the first portion of the quiz, your grammatical errors can cause a misreading of the question and, thus, an incorrect answer.

    Review of Asphyxia Death

    As a CSI, I've seen it all- so photos and videos aren't something that usually bother me. I do feel that three videos of people hanging is a bit much, though. I think one would have sufficed.

  • Amber

    Asphyxial Death Course

    Good course. Info on recognizing hangings and strangulations via marks on the deceased body is key for me. The examples were appreciated as well, as it accommodates different learning styles. Reading info from a slide is one thing, but seeing it is another. Regards from Canada.

  • Timothy

    Told what was being taught for this section but probably needed graphic warning at beginning.

    Very well assembled but was not expecting the severity of the videos. Could cause some issues if anyone had a family member or friend expire in this manner.

    speed was good, but I was not sure how to go back and review part of the video. It may have been there and I missed it. Would be nice to have it

    should have a rewind

    The videos don't allow for rewind. I understand that you can't fast forward in the video, but there was some information that I needed repeated and I couldn't access that information because the video doesn't allow to rewind
