Kristin
Great Class!
This course was very informative. The instructor gave an excellent, easy to understand overview of determining time of death.
Timothy
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.
Amiee
Educational and easily navigable
The course was easy to navigate and thorough enough without getting into too much detail for an overview type course. Thanx

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!
Doug
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.

Title was a good name for this course
Excellent knowledge learned through this course. It was easy to understand.
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!
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.
