Services - Forensics Finale

Crime Lab Files

Before the last class, prepare a typed one-page (12 point font, double spaced) report on ONE of these cases that explains what you think happened and what evidence you found (from the videos or your own research) that supports your conclusion.

You will turn this in on the last day of class. Do not use ChatGPT or Claude or any ai-assisted writing tool.

Your report format can be this outline:

Paragraph One: Overview Of Crime/ Mystery (4-6 sentences)
Paragraph Two: Investigation Results/ Key Evidence (6-8 sentences)
Paragraph Three: Your Conclusion And Why (5-7 sentences)

You can send me your paper to review as many times as you want for feedback before turning in your final paper!
