i never knew there were free courses on-line thanks very much. il give it a go. i just doing a nutritionist advisor course at moment too. though it wasnt free but cheap on gogroupie.

That's great that so many are giving it a go, or one of the other courses.  I had no idea such things existed until I saw the newspaper article, and I think I'm hooked already.


I wonder why and how the Universities can run these courses free?


Good luck to everyone who's doing a course, and I'll see those of you doing the forensics one there.  First google discussion this afternoon - I will need to work out how that's done before 1600!

I'm hoping it will be obvious as I haven't got a clue myself

It's not working. The video has been removed.

Did you get to see it in the end Lesley?  The link wasn't working and they sent out a new one. If you didn't see it live it won't matter as you can see the recorded version anyway.

[Lesley Silvester]

I did see it, Sally. It came on just in time as I had an appointment to take my dog to the vet for her boosters at 5pm.


I must say, I'm finding this course fascinating and I've signed up for the next forensic one.

Are those of you doing the forensics enjoying this week?   I had no idea that finger prints/marks had any questions over them.   Just as well I've never had to do jury duty 

I couldn't help thinking MGM that already there are quite a few potential novel plots for you - you'll be kept busy for years 

There seems to be a whole lot more work this week, with all the reading around the subject.

I'd seen these courses from another source and signed up for Climate Change and Power of Brands courses then spotted this post and mentioned it yo my wife who is now signed up on the Forensic one.

And why do you think I'm doing the course? 



I'm loving it but I know what you mean about lots of work this week, FW. I still have to google fingerprints.

[Bionic]

I'm still working my way through the US chapters that have to be read on the first day. It's very interesting though

[Lesley Silvester]

I've been scanning through it but must admit that much of it went over my head. Glad I don't have to learn it all.


How did people do in the quiz at the end of the first week. I managed 12/12 but don't think I'll do so well this week.

[Fleecewife]

12/12 too but it was easy.  I don't think any more will be.

Now I'm totally cross eyed from the US book  and I still have more to go.   I read quickly through the whole week's work then have come back to those two books.  Last week I'd finished by Friday but I think I will be working on this lot through the w/e too.   Interesting that China was using finger and palm prints as ID back in 300 BC.   Maybe the cave paintings of sprayed hands were an early example of this ?

[Bionic]

Well, I am the dunce of the gang as I only got 11/12    I didn't read the first Q. properly and got it wrong.
As you can see by the time I can't sleep so going to do some more of the course now.

[Lesley Silvester]

I don't think I'm going to read the whole books - just pick out the relevant passages. It's useful to have though.


12/12 again this week. I nearly messed up like you, Sally, by not reading the first question properly.


Did you all take your fingerprints? I haven't done mine yet.
