The vast majority of the class consists of presentations from professionals in the field. Very interesting stuff. At its core this class is meant to help you decide which field of forensics you might want to look into as a career. Be prepared for a quiz (half on the presentation topic and half on the week's assigned reading) and a writing assignment every week.

Take notes on everything. And I do mean everything. Even if it was only mentioned once, even if it was something said in passing, write. it. down. It WILL show up later.

Forensic based professionals come into class to present about their profession each week. Take notes or you will not get the grade you want. Textbook required.

TAKE NOTES!
