Such an interesting course. Not a bird course because you obviously have to work for your grade, but because of how interesting it was, you wouldn't find the material isn't overwhelming and is rather interesting so you find yourself wanting to work hard because it's fun to learn. But yeah requires effort but I highly recommend

Super interesting if you like forensic science. A bit more complicated science than I was expecting and you have to work for your grade, but the work includes watching Forensic Files episodes so it's not bad and pretty interesting. There was a midterm, an exam, weekly online quizzes based on the textbook chapters of which the lowest two marks are dropped, and an essay based on one of the Forensic Files episodes watched in class.
