    Great course!

    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.

    Informative

    It was really interesting and informative. The only thing that makes it difficult for me is that I am slower at writing notes and have to stop so much to do so. I can't write notes as the video plays because I worry about missing a proof of watch picture, but the course itself is great.
