A nice, different course covering a new area for me providing good insight to Forensics. I was disappointed in the results as I should have done better on about 1/2 of the wrongs. The other 1/2 of the wrongs were attributable to what most of used to call "tricky" questions.

Very good and informative material, particularly benefitting an engineer just starting out in forensics. Regarding the test, however, it still suffers from the common problems with online tests. Certain questions are phrased more to trick you into a mistake rather than to reveal your understanding of the issue or principle. Too many true-false or multiple choice questions where "all of the above" answers are obvious unless they contain a deliberately misleading fact in the question. However, overall, the course material was some of the best of its kind for this type of learning. Kudos to the author(s).

It boils down virtually every pointer, suggestion, and admonishment that one would need to perform well in this business, into a concise and meaningful piece of instruction. Nicely done, Mr. Shave.
