Title page with appropriate titles and subtitles in the appropriate sections of the report.
1. Introduction: In this section, identify/describe the case/ forensic problem to
be solved (the link above). Include a rationale for why the problem is of interest and relevance to this forensic science
course. Include why you’re interested in this case (maybe because an important process is explained through it, or you’re interested in blood spatter? etc.)
2. Science and Methods Used: This is where the research comes in. Explain the science and the methods used in solving the case i.e. the analysis of evidence and the scientific tools and concepts discussed. Then evaluate the methods discussed (i.e. Are/Were the results accurate and adequate? What are/were the limitations?)
example of Scientific evidence/tools used in this case:
Fiber-glass
Blood stain analysis/nature of the spatter

address the death penalty
4. Conclusion: students are expected to synthesize the material and summarize the case
covering the Science and Societal Impact.
