Description
Forensic facial analysis is a 38 lecture course that uses a structured and scientific approach to the investigation into human facial forensics. Each segment contains a series of lecture videos complete with animations and with a marked self-assessment. The course has been developed for critical thinkers who are fascinated by every facet of the human face. Students will learn terminology and methods associated to forensic facial analysis, and this course will address the big question, what makes the human face unique? Students will be introduced to facial anatomy, the bones of the cranium which up-hold the surface anatomy, as well as the role of external variables, which can have a lasting impact of the perceived structure. Learners will develop an appreciation of the difference between fine features of the face and appreciate how either similarities and or differences between facial details can assist forensic practitioners in identifying an assailant. Learners will be best positioned to build on this course and take their knowledge further by studying additional modules in the area, increasing their skill set and helping to secure a role within the forensic arena.
