Establishing Identification of Deceased Review

Great class with strong case examples.

Great information

This course was great! It gave a lot of great information and notes about identification. I enjoyed it!

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.

Excellent First Course through the Death Investigation Academy

I appreciate the instructor's in depth knowledge and clear and diverse teaching techniques. The handouts are very useful. Thank you so much for a great first course!

Establishing Identification of Deceased

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The video lectures were full of useful information and I liked the review of previous cases. The water inject for prints was super interesting and Im excited to implement this technique.

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.

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.

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.

ID the deceased

Very good course. The volume was very low on the interview with the female medical examiner. In the video showing how to get fingerprints. There was a heavy breathing sound that distracted from the material.

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.

Identification of Deceased

the course is very brief and basic of how to go about making identification of deceased memebrs using visual, presumtitive methods with use of scientific methods for potisitve identification. How to proceed with a case as its outcome relies heavely on positive Identification

Very well presented

Excellent Course

Thank you. Excellent overview of identification methods.

Was very good

Was very informative. Opened my thought process into a more in-depth, understanding way of how the sequence of events should fall for information gathering on the deceased.

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.

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.

Well done!

Course was good and worth the watch

Information Packed Module

An incredible amount of information from multiple experts is packed into this module.

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.

very informative
