The official guide to courses by Straighterline, Study, et al: We want YOUR input!
(02-24-2019, 04:08 PM)jbwyo Wrote: Provider: TEEX
Course: Death Investigation (Online) 
Course content: 49 Question pre-test, 9 modules without quizzes at the end, and post test.
Final exam format: 49 multiple choice and T/F questions.  You get three (3) attempts at passing (70%).
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The final is very similar to the pre-test and aligns with the course content.
Time taken on course: I didn't time, maybe 5 or 6 hours.  
Familiarity with subject before course: I was very familiar with the material.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: I'm not an IT person and found the TEEX Cyber courses to be fairly difficult and monotonous.  This was a whole lot easier and more interesting for me that those courses.

I don't live in Texas and I'm not a Texas LEO and still paid the $75.00 tuition even though the site stated it could be higher.  

The only pitfall I see for some people is the fact the course has a few graphic death/injury type of photos scattered throughout, but not as many as could be expected.
