Determining Time of Death
I would prefer more case studies gone over in depth. I find those the most helpful.
Jerome
Appropriate for the content.
Informative and straight forward.
Carley
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!

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.

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!

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!

Great info!
Photos were so helpful for clarifying.
Daniel
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.

one of the quiz questions is very confusing as it asks for 2 , then says all that applies.
Joseph
Determing Time of Death
Probably not a good idea to take this course and or test at 8PM at night after a 14 hour work day
John
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.
Jody
Another good one
One tricky question, once I paid attention to how it was worded , I got it . Thanks for making me have to think .

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!
