Badger Precollege

Summary

Do you like a good mystery? Are you always first to figure out who did it and how they did it when you watch a movie or read a book? Here is your chance to become part of a team of forensic investigators. You will collect and analyze evidence from crime scenes, and use logical thought processes and scientific inquiry skills to interpret evidence and explain crimes. This is a laboratory-based course with class lab work, demonstrations, research, reading and class discussion. You will learn to interpret physical and biological evidence, such as fingerprinting, hair and fiber analysis, impression analysis, blood and DNA analysis, forensic entomology and anthropology. You will evaluate your comprehension and progress, apply your evidence analysis knowledge and work collaboratively to solve major crimes.
