Although the title is short and informative, it could be title more closely to what we do as coroners, however, I wouldn't change it

Ben
Take this course if you routinely write reports.
I think this is a good course for everyone that writes reports in their profession. I write reports almost daily and can range from half a page to multiple pages in length. While I do think I do a good job in report writing, I still took a few points of advice from this course. If you can only sign up for a few of these courses, I would put this one in a top 5 spot to take.
Jennifer
Report writing review
I learned that it is essential for a case to have a good report written. This course made me capture the picture on how many people will be reading the report that I write and how the report becomes the key for a decision also how important is to write it factual, clear and concise.

CAITLIN
Excellent information
Report writing for death investigation is different from the way I am accustomed to writing as an APRN. This course was very helpful in pointing out these differences and what I need to focus on.

Deputy Coroner

Savannah
Excellent
Small error- In your video covering the 6 characteristics of a final report, you said #5 when you meant to say #6 when discussing the final characteristic. In the future, would there be a way for students to have the capability to go backwards in the video, but still be refrained from moving forward into the video? If a student misses info covered in the video, without stopping the video in time, they miss the information. The handouts are perfect, however, they are not offered for every video. Having the option to go backwards in the video would ensure we do not miss anything.

Very basic general overview of report writing
As a death investigator with a ME office, I feel as if the course is more geared to law enforcement, and I wish there were more about medical terminology. Decent overall, general course on report writing.

Sarah
Report Writing-Feedback from a SANE
I am a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE). I am in this course to learn how to perform post-mortem SA/DV/IPV exams. This is was an informative course, I already do report writing, but from the aspect of a SANE. This was helpful for knowing how to write a report if I was to ever go to a scene. It was police heavy, but still informative.
