For this assignment, you have three choices. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ALL OPTIONS.

Option A: Make your own "nutshell".

For this option, construct a diorama of a crime scene. Similar to activity 1, provide a written table indicating all of the various forensic specialists that would be needed to evaluate all of the evidence from your scene. This scene can be entirely fictional. Upload a picture of your scene and a word document of your table to Canvas.

Option B: Specialist Profile

For this option, write an 8-10 page, double-spaced paper on the education, qualifications, training and expertise needed to become a specific type of forensic scientist. You may choose any specialty you like. In addition to describing the background needed, provide a description of the various tasks, methodologies, and likely day-to-day responsibilities someone in that profession would have. The format for this option should be a formal paper including in-text citations and a works cited section in APA style.

Option C: Research Paper

For this option, write an 8-10 page, double-spaced paper on a research question on a forensic science topic. This should include a comprehensive literature review of the current state of knowledge on the topic (what have other researchers already learned) as well as a proposal for what still needs to be figured out. The format for this option should be a formal paper including in-text citations and a works cited section in APA style.
