    Great course, broken down into clear bites. I only wish it had a rewind option because I had to repeat some parts, but as long as you remember to pause and take notes, you'll do great. I got a 100 on my final quiz! As a CSI student and former coroner's intern I thank you!

    WTF!

    While the quiz had some straightforward questions, there were questions where A-D could have been correct. Very unclear. Found myself frustrated with two questions in particular. Correct answers did not appear to match with what was provided in the lesson, nor with my training, nor with common sense. I won't be taking any additional courses on this platform. Not worth it.

    My opinion

    Very informative BUT the test needs some work. There is a question in which ALL the answers are correct (I looked it up) but the computer only accepts two of them... and you have to retake the test multiple times to find which two... (question about rigor)... I also entered it into the "assistance" tab but found the right combination before someone called me about it...Otherwise good course.

  • Scott
    (5)
    Very goood course

    As a beginning MDI this course built a solid foundation on the basics of TOD determination to enter field work and to expand upon.

  • Robert
    (5)
    Determining Time of Death

    I enjoyed the course however there was one question that was misleading and I had problems with that question. I did answer it correctly one time during the multiple time I took the test but it said I got it incorrect.

  • Sarah

    Rigor Mortis quiz question

    The class was excellent, as all of them have been so far. But this one question I found irritating: Rigor Mortis _________. (Choose 2 correct answers). A. Progresses equally throughout the body (True) B. Does not appear in young children. (False, forms "poorly" according to the class, but still forms) C. Is first noticeable in smaller joints and muscles (True- jaw, fingers, and smaller joints... or is "muscles" what makes in false?) D. Is affected by the body or ambient temperature (True) I struggled because to me, 3 of the 4 choices were true. Maybe something in the slide show was not clear enough, or maybe the question is tricky. Anyhow, between the classes and the podcast, as a newbie to the field, I am learning so much! Thank you for what you do.

  • Ellen
    (5)
    good overview

    I liked the course, got a lot out of it. I do think the question in the test re: Rigor Mortis was confusing... only 2 of the 4 listed options were allowable, but 3 were correct. (The video stated rigor mortis progresses consistently through the entire body and is only NOTICEABLE earlier in smaller joints as the larger ones take more lactic acid to immobilize. If I misunderstood please let me know, but it seemed like everything but the kid answer was correct. I do understand that children and the elderly have potentially less noticeable rigor due to less developed muscle mass.)

  • Darrin

    Some hiccups, but I made it!

    This presentation was a little more difficult for me, not for the subject matter, but for the evolution of the process of rigor mortis. While the quiz answers were accurate, there was one area that I took directly from the presentation in the form of my notes that also applied. I researched a little more, and found that there are some fine determinations on how rigor progresses through the entire body, and understand more the entire method. Thank you for these courses!

    Good

    I loved the course. The questions for the quizzes had a few questions that where worded awkwardly especially the one that was on the Determining TOD. The question asked what are two areas that need to be documented first as soon as possible. In our office, we work a little different in collecting information so it was a harder question to answer. I am sure it was in the text or videos but I didn't recall where.

    Time of Death

    COMPLETE GARBAGE that you take a test and miss 1 question and need to retake with a passing 93% !!!!!..Then retake same test a few times missing the same question...and when you go back to review a section to look for answer, you have to re-watch the whole time and can not fast forward to see one thing you missed.

    In the lesson on report writing, it was stressed to spell words correctly. I noticed in this lesson words were not spelled correctly. 1 looses should be loses and 2 schleral should be scleral
