BIOL203-12SU2 (C)

Introduction to Forensic Biology
Description
An introduction to the ways in which forensic investigations draw upon scientific knowledge, especially from the biological sciences. The practical component of the course will involve reasoning through evidence and the use of DNA as tool for suspect identification.
Forensic scientists draw upon a broad knowledge of the physical and social sciences to solve crimes or historic mysteries. A single course could not hope to cover all this knowledge or pretend to make you professional forensic scientists. However, we can introduce you to some common techniques used by forensic scientists and tell you about some real life investigations (some of which the course faculty may have been involved in), and exercise your creative thinking to solve an in-course crime.
