RS1 Human Body Systems - The word “forensic” has its origins in the 1650’s, to mean “informed debate or argumentative exercise, suitable for or used in court”. In this Forensic Science course, not only will you learn about the systems, methods and technology used to collect, analyze and utilize evidence of crimes, you will be tasked with thinking about how forensic science serves the community and questioning the value of “using science in service of the law”, while debating whether or not the benefits exceed the costs to individuals, families and society.
