Abstract
A mini-project is described in which students give oral presentations of forensic science papers and case studies taken from the literature and/or the public media. The project also includes a practicing forensic chemist guest speaker, class discussion of video tapes of forensic interest, a field trip to a forensic laboratory, and student designed outlines for forensic research projects. This project is an effective way for students to (1) develop their speaking and technical presentation skills involving topics of great interest to them and (2) enable teachers to gauge the success of their college's academic program. The project aims, detailed description, and outcomes are given.
