The 'Questioned Document Investigation' course was a valuable learning experience for me. As a Japanese student interested in document analysis, I appreciated the detailed and systematic approach to the subject matter. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the basics of document examination to advanced techniques for detecting forgery and tampering. I found the video lectures to be clear and concise, and the accompanying notes and resources were helpful in reinforcing my understanding. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive elements, such as quizzes or games, to make the learning experience more engaging. Nevertheless, I was satisfied with the quality and relevance of the course materials, and I gained a solid foundation in document investigation techniques. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their skills in this area.
