1 Instructor: Dr. Sara Fenske Course: Forensic Science Course Philosophy: This course is an introduction to Forensic Science,which emphasizes the process of science and includes topics in physics, chemistry and biology. Therefore, you will be briefly introduced to some of the ideas in all of these sciences. The success of this course depends on your participation and enthusiasm in learning the skills to solve mysteries. Course Requirements: 1) Forensic Science: Fundamentals and Investigations by Anthony J. Bertino 2) Binder for Handouts and paper for notes 3) Pencil or Pen (blue or black) 4) All handouts 5) Netbooks and access to the internet Grading Procedure: Grades are based on a combination of two major exams, tests, quizzes, writing assignments (including lab reports), and projects. Tests will be worth twice as much as quizzes and lab reports. As stated in the Student Handbook, To emphasize the importance of growth through the school year, the weight of each trimester grade has been changed. The first trimester will count as 15%, the second as 25%, the third as 35%, the midyear exam as 10%,and the final exam as 15%. Grading Scale: As stated in the Student Handbook, letter grades are determined based on the following scale: A- to A+: D- to D+: B- to B+: F: 0-59 C- to C+: Homework/ Classwork Policies: 1.Homework, writing and reading assignments must be completed by the assigned date. Any long-term projects should be worked on daily so that the task is completed on time and will earn the best grade. 2.Two major exams will be given, one mid-year and one at the end of the year. Both exams are cumulative. 3.All assignments should be turned in on the due date during the class period. The maximum score for any late assignments will decrease by 10% for every day late until the grade reaches a maximum score of 50%. Any work not turned in will receive a 0. 4.All work must be legibly written or typed, and grammatically correct. 5.Keep all handouts, homework, returned homework and exams in a binder. 6.Ask questions about any instructions that are not clear.
2 Classroom Policies: 1.Daily, prepared attendance is mandatory. The school s attendance policy will be strictly enforced. 2.You are solely responsible for any material covered or announcements made during your absence. 3.You are expected to treat everyone with respect at all times. 4.Cheating or plagiarism will result in a 0 grade for that assessment and may require you to appear before the honor code committee. 5.During all labs, safety comes first! To ensure that you understand what safe lab conduct is, you will be asked to sign a lab safety contract. 6.Finally, you are expected to ask questions about any material that is not clear. Do not worry about a question being too simple. If you don t understand, chances are others don t also (Yes, this is really true).
