Understand the nature and role of forensic science. 3. Garner knowledge of several forensic disciplines through self-guided research. The Assignment Instructions: Generate a journal entry containing your thoughts, reflections, and analysis of the following topics from Module 1. Be sure to cite the source of any information you derive from references. Failure to cite references results in an automatic drop of one letter grade. TOPICS: Page 4 in your text lists several sub-disciplines of forensic science. Perform research of at least two of these sub-disciplines and describe what you have learned about them- make sure that you link these disciplines with forensics! For example, you should not be writing about biology in general, you should be writing about forensic biology.
