FORENSICS
images-2
WARNING!!! This class is not going to be a TV show. This will be a real introduction to real forensics. If you think that all we are going to do is see dead bodies and use equipment that doesn't exist except in Hollywood, you are sorely mistaken. If you're confused about it, see these three links. If you are not sure after that, don't sign up for the class. Leave room for those who will take it seriously and want to work.
