Class Experience

This is a FLEX class with no live meetings.  Students will enjoy videos that they may view over and over again if desired.  No prior knowledge is needed.  Learners will learn about the various jobs available in the criminal justice sector.  Learners will learn the components of crime scene processing and evidence collecting.  Many vocabulary terms will be presented in a slide-show presentation filled with valuable facts.  Your child will come away with a better understanding of criminology and evidence collecting.  
Students will participate in classroom comments, worksheets, quizzes and project demonstrations.  Each learner will post comments on their own work, and the work of their classmates.  Students will learn the requirements of education for their chosen career.  At the end of the session, students will post their favorite job of interest and explain why they are interested in it.  Students will enjoy discussions with each other through classroom comments and games.  Your learner will learn how to create a secret code and how to read in code.
