| Course description: | (Previously ANTH/BIOL/CHEM 125 and ANTH/BIOL/CHEM 125L) This course is an introduction to the field of forensic science. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of three of the specialized branches of forensic science offered at ENMU: forensic anthropology, forensic biology and forensic chemistry. Within these topics, students will be exposed to a range of different types of evidence, evidence collection methods, and evidence processing protocols. The course will be composed of a lecture and laboratory section. You are expected to understand and apply the material covered in both the lectures and the reading assignments. Online quizzes on the readings will be available prior covering the material in class, in order to help you to gauge your knowledge and improve your retention before you come to class. The labs are a supplement to the lecture topics. They will provide hands-on experience in a variety of forensic methods. (F, S) |
