Survey of Forensic Science is the first course that introduces students to a career in forensic sciences. The course covers lots of topics, including crime scene investigation, trace evidence analysis, fingerprints, forensic chemistry (drugs and toxicology) and biology (serology and DNA), bloodstain pattern analysis and arson and explosives. Students in Professor Carter's Forensic Science 101 course this week were exploring footwear impressions during class last week, an important piece of evidence at a crime scene.
