Not worth more than 3 bucks. Lot of misspellings in almost every page. Words double or wrong letters so she didn't even read her own course i guess. Page 21 is a handwritten table to read and as lection 22 she reads the exact same table. So those two lections are the same. Also most of the information can be found on the internet. I'm really disappointed. She has a calming voice and beautiful handwriting tho

This is a good basic course. I am a long-time firearm instructor and the information could be a little basic at times, but for someone new to the subject it is perfect. I would only recommend cleaning up the presentation with better pictures in the examples and drawings. Good job!

I loved it. i own my own firearms and do my own reloading so the next dream is to obtain my degree as a ballistics expert.

Too basic, and some "classes" are just a a single paragraph reading. Not clear enough, and way too basic. This is not forensic ballistic, it's just an overview of overview of overview of forensic ballistics

The lecture needs to be proof read to ensure everything makes sense. Better graphs could be used in order to convey the information in a clearer way

A lot of useful solid information, especially from the files. Learned a lot about firearm and stabilized my knowledge from forensic medicine and forensic science. Really good course, even though the videos could be worked on. Overall I'm happy I took it!

Thank you for this course. I have learned much about Ballistics. I just feel more videos could have been uploaded, especially of firearms when fired, and more regarding calibres and ammunition.

As a law enforcement profession with nearly 30 years experience I learned very little from the course. The materials, in particular the videos were very basic and unprofessional. Being able to hear what appeared to be either people or children in the background as the instructor spoke was terrible. The video of simply staring at what were handwritten notes was completely unprofessional. I would not recommend this class to anyone.

would have been nice to have had an instructor presenting and the handwritten photographed notes are very hard to read.

Low effort placed in producing the course. Saying that course provides Basic level of knowledge and understanding is an overstatement. At least the instructor could have put a powerpoint deck together vs. handwritten notes...

This is a great course to gain beginners knowledge on the basis of forensic ballistics. Definitely would recommend for students looking to start a career in forensic ballistics.

I am learning to be a homocide detective at a later time in my life if circumstances permit, and I feel that this course has added to my knowledge of forensic ballistics and I am comfortable that I would be able to build on this knowledge later on if needed.
