Welcome to Forensic Science.
***********************************************
We will be learning and practicing the techniques used by Crime Scene Investigators (CSI's) to process crime scenes and collect evidence, as well as laboratory techniques practiced by Forensic Scientists to process and test that evidence. Although there is no midterm or final exam in this course, there is a practical (crime scene) exercise each semester, there are many hands-on activities, and there are chapter tests.

You will hand in the lab sheet summary of the activities you did in processing latent prints. On Wednesday there will be a test on Chapter 4, Fingerprints, including fingerprint types, patterns, minutia, comparison, identification.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
GRADE CORRECTION----
Because of my error, there is a grade correction on the Fingerprint Test which you just got back today. Correct your grade on the first part as follows:
Add 40 to the numerator, and 40 to the denominator. This will show the number of points you received out of 76 points (not 36 as shown on your paper).
This should substantially improve your grade. The second grade (10 points) is not affected. Sorry.
