Regina
Establishing Identification of Deceased
It was a very informative course
GLENN
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.
Stacey
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.
Christine
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.
Lillibeth
A great course
I felt that the information given and the way the instructor presented it was all done very well.
Lisa

Amy
Establishing Identification of the Deceased
Very interesting segment on fingerprinting and pdf on mass casualty responses and myths.
Andrea
Great Topic
I especially liked the case studies for more real life application.
Esmeralda
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.
Holley
identification of the deceased
easy to follow and understand, nice to be able to start and stop as needed.
Stuart
Very useful course and a good introduction to the online program of coursework
the course hits many key principles and helpful (technical) points on and surrounding this important topic, with illustrative case examples to further substantiate the basics
Jay
Great class with a lot of info
Ernest
Well described course
Material was well prepared and relevant.
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.
Ben
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.

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.
Kaley
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.

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.

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

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.

Hannah
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.

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.
