Instructor: Jay Glass
Advanced Questioned Death Investigation is a lecture course that goes a little into depth of death investigation. Topics ranging from sudden and unexpected death to toxicology are covered during the course. Numerous pictures are shown throughout the course to give a better understanding of what to look for and how to identify the injuries. Understanding the injuries and how the victim obtained them will help the student in determining cause and manner of death. There are a lot of reading assignments to supplement the class material; however, emphasis will be given to the most important assignments There are two tests throughout the course and a take home assignment. Both tests consist of multiple choice questions and the take-home assignment consists of two actual cases that you will determine manner of death on from what you learn throughout the course.
Personally, I believe this is a great course, but it is not for the squeamish. The pictures that are shown throughout the course are very graphic in nature. I also suggest that both Criminalistics courses be taken prior to taking this course. That will give you an advantage on most of the material that will be covered in AQD. Jay Glass was the instructor for the course when I took it and should be in the future unless the course catalog says otherwise. If you have Mr. Glass, he is going to talk a lot and write very few notes on the board. What he does write on the board is of importance, so take good notes. There are very few questions asked throughout the course when I took it, but Mr. Glass is more than happy to explain anything that you might not get. Overall, I give this course 4.5 bloody thumbprints out of 5.
