Course Objectives: The Honors Forensic Science course is designed to introduce students to a variety of biological topics and current scientific issues. Students are encouraged to work collaboratively in groups, to design investigations, formulate hypothesis, collect data, reach conclusions, and present their findings to their classmates. The content studied in Forensic Science provides an opportunity for students to study topics in medicine, ecology, forensics, biotechnology, and environmental studies. The goal this year is to prepare students in every aspect of the Forensic Science curriculum according to the North Carolina standard course of study, Essential Common Core Standards, and the NCFE Exam.
A. Late Homework: If a student has proof of an excused absence from class, the student has two class days to turn in the assignment. Excused slips allow the student two class periods to make up missing work to receive full credit. Otherwise, all students are expected to turn in their work on time. The consequences of submitting late assignments will result in the highest grade of 70% of earned grade. Two days late – all homework 60% of earned grade. Daily homework assignments will be checked during class time and discussed every day.
