Forensic Science: Evidence & Investigation

Truth-telling under oath.

Forensic science as a moral act, not just a technical one. Crime-scene method, the forensic disciplines at literacy level, expert testimony, and an honesty spine on the limits of forensics — junk science, bias, and wrongful conviction — carried by one fictional case the class investigates all semester, with a designed-in reversal that teaches honest revision.
