    Identifying Deceased

    Enjoyed it...good, informative, i like the videos to show how to fingerprint and things to do to get a better finger print.

  • Stacey
    (5)
    Title was appropriate for content.

    Information was fantastic. Loved seeing the demonstration of reinflating fingers for printing. Only "complaint" is that audio is a little off for that video. Good enough to understand but could be better.

    Excellent

    Darren - this was the best video of all the videos I have seen . I liked the practical element of inflating finger tips, individual cases and it was all around a great class. Thank you so much. I like the practical videos best as I expand my knowledge of forensics. Only one comment, at the beginning of the video your name is misspelled.

  • John
    (5)

    Establishing identifcation of deceased helped me since I had a simular case

    Very informative! I love the "learn in your spare time", as in this case, I received a call and came back and picked up where I had left. Great job Darren!!!

    Quality Information

    This class is a great introduction to determining how to establish identification of a deceased individual and as to why. As a "seasoned" crime scene investigator (10 years), I can say that we routinely use fingerprints and tattoos. We also use information as to who is supposed to be living at an address, or perhaps the person has a driver's license on them. It is very important to have a couple different methods of establishing ID. DNA is also used as well - but that is done by our state lab. Overall, the course has multiple points of useful information.

    Great course!!!

  • Russell

    Anthropologists Anonymous

    Nice work Darren and team! I might have put a little more stress on odontology- we do a lot of dental ID's, and comparative radiography- frontal sinuses, healed fractures etc. But for an overview *AND* solid look at scientific methods I could totally recommend this short course.

  • Ed
    (5)
    Establishing identification of deceased.

    The videos were very helpful especially the hydrating of the fingers for finger prints. Very useful tool.

  • Tiffany

    This course was very immersive and covered the topics well and in differing ways. I do not think that there are any changes I would recommend to this course.

  • McKenzie
    (5)
    Establishing Identification of Deceased

    I thought this course was an easy way to understand and establish the identification of the deceased. I learned how difficult it can be to identify a dead body and why it is so important. The professor explains things very well and gives very good visual lessons. Everything was easy to access and I enjoyed this course very well.

  • Joseph

    Accurate description of course

    All of the text was relative to the course. I think the PAHO report was long and tedious and not a strong or relative way to to finish a good class. This report was pertinent towards the specific incidents but given the context of the course, could have been displayed as a supllemental or optional read- not part of the class.

  • Esmeralda
    (5)
    Surpassed Expectations

    The structure and material in this course provided not only the basics but also specific examples that allows one to grasp the material. The information on mass disasters was not something expected but allows one to put into perspective the importance of positive identification.

  • James

    Establishing Identification of Deceased

    I believe additional case studies would be beneficial described in more detail. Actually go through the steps taken to obtain the ID.

    Review

    I loved that you actually showed us how to take fingerprints instead of just telling us. The only thing I would change, if possible, is to allow us to back the video up the first time we are watching it. Sometimes I don't catch something the first time while taking notes.

  • Paige
