TASK
Within this module we examine a number of different Forensic Chemistry based evidence types within the classroom as well as the practical sessions.
This task is to explore Forensic Chemistry evidence types further and examine some of those we do not look at closely during the taught sessions. You are required to attend a briefing session where you will be expected to provide a 10 minute presentation in Laypersons terms outlining your forensic evidence type. The presentation must be in Layperson's terms and therefore easy to understand but at the same time include the breadth and depth of the evidence type. You must decide what information needs to be included in the presentation for a Layperson to understand the evidence type but the lesson at the start of the module looking at drugs will help this process.
You may use Powerpoint or other media means for your presentation but it is not essential. The choice of how to present the information needs to be yours and is part of the assessment process.
You can chose from the following evidential types:
• Blood Alcohol Calculations
• Erased Numbers examinations
• Gait Analysis examinations
It is expected in your presentation you make reference to a number of quality peer reviewed sources of information and at the end of your presentation you are expected to submit a reference list to the assessors detailing the sources you used for your briefing. This reference list must follow Harvard referencing guidelines and be printed using Word, the list will also be submitted via Gradecentre.
