• "The program introduced me to the ways that forensics is used to catch murders and how to use evidence to determine what exactly happened at the crime scene. I enjoyed how the class felt less like a class and we were actually having fun learning instead of being forced to learn. The teacher was very knowledgeable and fun to be around."

• "The program I took was forensics taught by Dr. Fox. We learned about how they get shoe prints, fingerprints, lip prints and any other impression. We also learned about blood spatters and how to tell the velocity of the weapon and what weapon might've been used. I thought Dr. Fox was a very good teacher and he was very good at explaining everything."

• "In this program, we discussed and experimented with different ways to analyze crime scenes. This included experiments like document analysis (forgery), toxicology, dental impressions, fingerprinting and DNA analysis. Mr. Isaacs was a very dedicated and fun teacher. You could tell that he loves what he does and is very good at answering any questions I have."
