Forensic Studies 35 [ 3cr ]

Take your knowledge of crime scene investigation further as you learn about forensic anthropology, entomology, and toxicology; ballistics; police protective equipment; police dogs; arson investigation; and criminal profiling. Analyze real-life crime cases, including the Romanov remains, the Washington sniper shootings, Clifford Olson, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. 

This course has 31 assessment items: 30 assignments and 1 final exam.  

*The final exam will be supervised using Proctorio remote supervision which requires photo ID, a computer with microphone and webcam, and the installation of a Chrome extension.  

Students will be provided with a timeline of due dates to follow, with modules closing according to those due dates.  

Due to the short time frame of the summer session, there can be no extensions to the module closing dates and students should be committed to working on the course 3 hours per day for the month of July.  Vacations or full-time jobs should not be taken during this time.

Note: Due to the graphic nature of the course material and its focus on real events, this course may not be suitable for everyone. This course includes descriptions of violent crimes, firearms, and deviant behavior. 

In order for a student to be successful in this course, VVS requires a minimum of 50% in the prerequisite course.
