Learner progress is assessed informally. However, for families that need a more formal statement for their state's requirements, I will be happy to provide a detailed assessment.보고계신 지문은 자동 번역 되었습니다

Forensic Science 4 focuses on two seemingly distinct areas of evidence that can be found together in various cases: Forensic Anthropology and Forensic Linguistic Analysis. Weeks 1-3 will focus on Forensic Anthropology, which largely involves the use of bones in crime scene or archaeological analysis. Specific areas of inquiry will include: • History of Forensic Anthropology, including the removal of pseudoscientific elements that pervaded the field in early years • General discussion of the functions and structure of bones • Discussion of areas of the skeleton used for determination of characteristics, such as age, gender, height, weight, medical issues, and to a lesser extent, region of origin. • Specific uses of the jaw and teeth in estimating period of life/death and potential for confirming identity once a tentative identification is made. • The use of Stable Isotope Analysis to help determine approximate locations of birth and early years of life. • Case studies, both recent and involving archaeological specimens. Weeks 4-7 will cover Forensic Linguistic Analysis and Handwriting Analysis. Topics will include: • Analysis of multiple writings from general to specific • Analysis of tone and overall sound of the writing • Analysis of vocabulary and sentence structure • Examination of specific areas of punctuation that prove most useful in connecting writings from the same author • Regional and national variations in use of specific words or idioms • Identification of specific words that a person may use noticeably more often than is generally seen, and discussion of the likelihood of such clues being adopted by copycats. • Case studies of linguistic content, and yes, we may have to dip into the Zodiac bag in this section. • Discussion of the methods employed by handwriting analysts. • Discussion of ways to minimize the possibility that a suspect will successfully fake their handwriting while giving samples • Analysis of handwriting in real cases to determine the level of confidence in a match or exclusion. • Analysis of writing samples with some being written by the same person, in an attempt to link writings and authors, either in terms of linguistic content or handwriting. Weeks 8-10 will include our mock scene. This case is different from those in my other classes, in that we are being called in to examine bones (including skulls) and documents in a historical case. There will be plenty of skeletons, pirates, conflict between early colonists and Native Americans, a hurricane, a raging fire, and one skeleton that seems oddly out of place. As with my other forensic science classes, this class will be a discussion-based class that aims to encourage students to think about interesting and complex concepts and cases.
학습 목표
Students will develop an understanding of forensic anthropology and linguistic analysis, and will improve their critical reasoning skills.

학부모 가이드
While we will be discussing bones in cases where they may be useful in identification, there are no graphic images.
수업 자료
As an optional activity, students may want to try their hand at facial reconstruction. I suggest purchasing a plastic skull and clay. I can provide guidance on where to find the right type of skull, and any clay will work.

교사 전문성 및 자격증
I have been teaching Forensic Science for 16 years at levels up through college. I have written a forensic science manual, which has been used by a college in Europe, and I have completed ground-breaking work on the writings and ciphers in the Zodiac case. In addition to my experience in teaching forensic science, I also have 11 years experience as a lawyer, where I focused heavily on analysis of written evidence.
