By entomology, we can come to know about the time of death of the victim.
It is so useful to learn it in online because, time will be saved.
This course is so good to me in my perspective. -

S N E K AThis course is quite interesting.
As I'm a undergoing post grad in entomology field, it was really fun to recall things and gather some new information.
This course would be useful for many beginners who are willing to choose and study entomology.
I need to thank the lecturer who clearly explained everything and simple definitions for the terms which would be easy for anyone who are willing to learn.

Muhammad AmjadBefore this course, I had no idea about the medical entomology, its types and how its work. And also I had no ideas what types of insects are involved and how these insects are used to identify the suspects. -
Course is very helpful about the forensic entomology and the way of teaching is also very good. The knowledge that I am looking forward about the forensic entomology, I get that from this course.
