This is geared to be a high school forensics course, so please note the nature of the class. Blood splatter, various causes of death and ballistics will be discussed. Students can skip chapters if the family decides. Please let the instructor know.

*This course involves independent learning. Parents are asked to help the student the first week. Please sit down with your child the first week and help them practice uploading work, and responding to class post. Once the student has began the class, parents need to check weekly to make sure the child is uploading the weekly assignments. Each task/assignment is tailored to a set standard for forensics. So completing the task assignments will be key to comprehension in forensics, and completing the task in order is needed.

If your child is struggling, please reach out immediately. 

Refunds or transfers can be handled by Mrs. Collins on an as-needed basis, so please reach out to the instructor.

Class Information For Parents:
I am only a small piece of your homeschool puzzle. My goal is to provide your family quality curriculum, fun labs, crafts and assessment tools. I have over 23 years of experience in the classroom and homeschooling my own children. Over the years I have taught in the private, public and college setting providing quality labs and curriculum. I currently write science curriculum for 3 states to be used in public school classrooms. Over the years I have improved my craft by taking countless professional development on assessment methods, how to integrate technology into the classroom, and hands-on activities that promote learning. I am now taking my experience to provide quality curriculum for homeschool families. 

Third Party Tools: In my classes I use the following at times to help with comprehension: YouTube summary videos, Loom (I create how to videos), Quizizz, Quizlet, Nearpod, Flipgrid, Google Docs, and Google Slides. Outschool would like us to list all third party tools we may use in the class description. 

Assessments: Because my classes are flex, the option for live testing is not included. Instead I have a paid premium teacher membership to Quizizz and Quizlet. When it is time for an assessment I provide the student a website link and special code to take the test. Quizizz and Quizlet both grade test immediately for the family and allow the student the option to retest for a higher grade. Then students are asked to write down the grade, test name and date in their spiral on the "test score" page. All flex parents are asked to look at the spiral and test score page periodically to keep informed and to see how well the student is progressing in the class. If you are participating in a co-op that requires live testing, please let me know. I have a special Outschool one day option add-on that you can use for live testing. You can simply request the time/day for live testing that works for you. I have found that some flex parents use my Quizizz/Quizlet tests, but some families opt out of testing so it is whatever works best for your family. But I do provide the assessments if you would like to use them. Once the student is on the testing site via my special code they may also use the site for test over other subjects also. All test are graded immediately on the Quizizz site, and the student will be given the score immediately and given the option to print out the test for your records. The student will be reminded several times to write down the score in their science spiral on the provided science template test score page. It will be the parent's responsibility to make sure the student is writing down the score or please ask the child to wait til you are present to take the test online in front of you. Thank you.

How To Grade: I recommend that parents add up all of the test scores at the end of the session, and divide by the number of test to get the final average for the class. At the end of the class I provide a general letter of completion that can be used for your records or charter/private/co-op use. If you need me to put a specific average on the letter, I am more than happy to just let me know the average your child has or send me a list of their test scores to average.But ultimately, the parent is the one who designates the grade.

Upon registration, your first post will contain important documents. Please review with your child upon registration.
