I completed the Arson Investigation Techniques course as part of my ongoing professional development as a forensic scientist. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with a clear and concise presentation of the material. I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills and the use of case studies to illustrate key concepts. The course materials were of high quality and included some useful resources, such as templates and checklists, that I can apply in my work. One area for improvement would be to include more advanced topics, such as the use of AI and machine learning in fire investigation. Overall, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the field, but I think it could be even better with some additional content.
