I find Forensic Science a very fascinating thing. I quite enjoy watching CSI shows, especially NCIS! Therefore I was both curious and excited to what this Forensic Science Module might entail.
Every class we had was different and interesting. We were each given a booklet at the start of the module, to fill in as we went along. This booklet would be, in essence, our project that we could present once we had finished the module. We covered an incredible amount of topics such as: sketching crime scenes based on a series of photos, fingerprints, odontology, hair, tyre tracks, eyewitnesses and many more. My favorite topic would probably have been when we had to identify our own fingerprints! It was interesting to discover how everyone has a unique set of fingerprints. I had mainly loops and whorls, which are the two most common patterns for fingerprints. Sophie Pierce seemed to have a very unique pattern on many of her fingers, an arch, which seemingly less than 10% of the human population have! We finished the module by watching a thrilling episode of CSI which summarised a lot of the information we had learnt during the module. In conclusion I really enjoyed this module and feel I have learnt a lot of valuable information about Forensic Science that I did not know before!
