The course is good while considering the basics. We as students must put in more effort to learn in depth about the topics and concepts. A really good course. It has a strong foundation and covers almost all of the important aspects of Forensic Science.

The content of the course was exactly what I was looking for, and was very well presented. I felt the case studies could have been better prepared and more direction given in how to grade the submissions.

Very interesting course! I enjoyed it very much. I'm not crazy about having my case study exercises graded by other students, especially those who haven't grasped the basic concepts we were just taught!

Course was useful and informative. Case studies for marking purposes by peer submissions are questionable given the apparent variance in experience with forensics.

Excellent course except for the peer review. Students don't have enough reliable knowledge to correctly evaluate an opinion based argument.
