Yes, thank you, I work in a corporate environment and part of my duties are to perform forensic investigations of fraud or theft. I am interested in this aspect of the traits and behavior of offenders.

I'm truly enjoying this crash course while figuring out what areas of psychology interest me the most and what degree direction I want to go toward in my career path. I enjoy Elmira's calm and connected teaching style and would definitely recommend her other courses as well. And I LOVE teachings that include slides, which always help with my own note-taking.

Informative and easily understandable. As an entry level course, this is a great overview of what to expect from a career involving Policing or investigations.

It was a great course, just a little choppy for my concentration level. It would be easier for note taking to have shorter slides with fewer words and a picture and then move to the next. Content was great.

Yes, i have a daughter that has bipolar and antisocial disorders that has been magnified through the use of drugs and alcohol. She has three children that we are very concerned about as their grandparents. We pray for their welfare every day and have even taken our daughter to court to get guardianship of her children, but were not successful in convincing the judge to go against the wishes of our daughter, their mother.

I hadn't the possibility to follow the whole course, but I felt it a bit "underwhelming". The teacher appears to be very competent, but not the best speaker (in my opinion). Also, often she basically reads the displayed slides, making less useful to wait for the talk to finish. The aim and the topic is interesting, but I felt I followed other course much more engaging. Still, a good option for people whom needs the course for pratical reasons and not just out of curiosity.
