Handson. Some of the links need to be updated. Like http://csicyber.dfilink.net/ is dead

Well prepared! Easy to understand basic concepts of computer forensics. Kinda increases our interest in the subject. Really great stuff.

In Section 3, the quiz comes before the lecture, it should be the other way around. In some sections the sound is soft. The presenter sounds a bit sick... would be better if he could record the lecture when he is better.

Multiple grammar, spelling and punctuation errors in the slides (this is quite unprofessional), it seems that nobody went through the course prior to it being put online. The first quiz came before the relevant section - not good, especially seeing as we had to guess between answer 1 and 2.
More quizzes would be useful.
Only the slides had resources, I wanted to copy and paste some of the references and I couldn't.

I found this course a great follow-up to the intro to computer forensics. I would like to see an advanced version of this course and/or more hands-on labs equivalent in the future.

By Magnus Bergdahl on 9/17/2020

It was good, but there was issues with the sound, sometimes too low or very high and at some lectures it was cut off in the end. There was also some spelling typos.

By Bryan Hutchins on 9/9/2020

Good course. Lot of useful content. Would be nice if the course was updated. A lot of the slides reference older versions of software as well as refer to Windows Vista and older.

it was a good course, though you didn't talk about hard-drives that have deleted partitions

By John Randall on 6/24/2020

Love the course. Please add more quizzes and expand on file carving. Maybe a few exercises in file carving?
