  • FS 515: Research Methods in Forensic Science

    3.00 Credits
    Arcadia University

    This course is a graduate level course designed to familiarize the student with the basic methods and techniques of research and the preparation of research papers. It is designed to instill proper practices for creating an experiment and reporting those results and ideas in an appropriate manner. In this course, students will learn how to research a topic and design an experiment. The students will then be asked to dissect and critique relevant scientific journal articles to understand the intent and content of each section. Finally, the students will utilize the skills they learned and developed in the previous weeks of the class to prepare a literature survey or design an experiment on a particular research topic.
