Determining time of deat

excellent, concise and easy to understand.

Determining time of death

thought it was educational and a good review for me

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!

Determining Time of Death

Very informative! Looking forward to the next class!

OK

The presenter was obviously well versed in the material, but could have presented better.

Great course

Great course and very informative. It would be nice to rewatch certain portions of the video without having to re-watch the entire video.

Great course, easy to understand and very affordable. Appreciate the downloadable powerpoint handouts!

Text was a good review at the end. There may have been a way, but did not see a way to download the text version.

educational

Very nice and enjoyable, except for the Rigor question.

Very informative

Lots of stuff I didn’t know that I have already used in my job.

Very helpful!

As a new MDI I found this course very informative and useful for my training.

Note bad,

good

Determining Time of Death

Very interesting. I will definitely be taking more courses through this academy.

Lots of Info

This course provided a lot of insight into determining time of death.

It caught my eye as being a course that would help me in the field of forensic science and death investigation

It was very easy to understand and made the topic interesting to learn about.

Great title

Easy to follow text

EXCELLENT

GREAT CLASS

Nice work

Details were helpful

Determination of time of death

Yes

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.

Very good Information obtained from this class

The information obtained in this section was very informational. The information can definitely be applied to my scene investigations on a daily basis.

Extremely Important for Accurate Time of Death Decisions

The sections in this training are crucial to make accurate decisions and determinations for time of death.

Great Course!!!

After 20 years of investigations experience I continue to learn from Darren... Although I’ve taken this course before with Darren in person I continue to learn something new every time. Darren continues to be a great instructor, and great investigator. Great job DITA...

Great course

Determining Time of Death

I found this extremely helpful and clear. I did want to mention that as a Paramedic who has done a few years in mortuary science, that possibly being more clear about "internal temperature reading," would be beneficial. For any medical personnel, they could think that your are talking about a rectal temperature and not liver temp!

Determining time of death

Great material

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.)

My first course here, and it was great!

It's nice to have the visual presentation here with images, as I'm used to listening to the Coroner Talk podcast which is audio only. I'm looking forward to taking more of the courses soon!

Great Course

Thanks for making this available. I feel all Coroners and Deputies should be retired to take this course

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.

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.

Determining Time of Death A+

This was as wonderful course. It was informative and well put together. The speaker is knowledgeable and explains the material very well . I am satisfied :-)

Accurate description of topics covered in module

I enjoyed the course but was interested to see that saponification was not discussed.

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.

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.

Awesome course

This course is very beneficial to any level of death investigator. I have been employed as a Forensic Death Investigator for over a year and law enforcement for 15 years. This course provided knowledge that I did not have. The instructor is knowledgeable and remained focused on each section. One of the best classes I have taken in a while.

Quizzes need to be improved

Most of the questions were appropriate to the lecture. One of the questions had multiple answers and was difficult to answer. Needed to be tried several times for an attempt. If there are trick questions on a test allow the test taker to review the information so they can get the answer correct instead of constantly guessing until they get it right or have a remedial training link they can click on to get the right answer. I still don't know why that answer was answered the way it was and I am unable to access the information from that section without watching the entire 30 minute video again. This could be made more user friendly.

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.

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.

Determining time of death review

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!

Time of death

Great info

I really enjoyed the information presented in this section. I will refer back to the print outs at a later date.

Accurate

Good and informative class, but a little lengthy

Good Information

Information was well presented and easy to understand. This is a great course for new and seasoned death investigators.
