    This is a great course for a multitude of reasons. I really enjoyed having an assignment to do that was actually looked at. Great refresher on information that I learned in my Forensic Science degree program but also got a lot of practical advice and outlook when it comes to real world from a new perspective. Had to pause it a lot to keep up on my notes but I didn't mind that too much.
