Opportunity to explore forensic cases

  The round table discussions are meant to give you an opportunity to explore forensic cases past and present that bring to light various investigative techniques. You will choose a case from either newspapers, digital media, criminal justice journals and organizations. The New York Times, The Innocence Project and Science Direct are a few examples of resources. Once you locate an article , highlight the investigative components of the cases. Then provide your thoughts about the cases. Finally, make sure as with all of your discussions provide references. Each round table article should be between 400-500 words (approximately 2 pages double spaced). These articles are not required every week, so pay attention to the due dates. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how these cases were solved. The innocence project will especially evoke a great deal of conversation. Students often find this one of the most rewarding part of the course even though it's a writing assignment.
