week 6 . Everyone is aware that additional training will occur at your new forensic lab, even if you are fully trained from an outside lab. This is part of the ASCLD-LAB (American Society of Crime Lab Directors – Laboratory Accreditation Board) accreditation. As part of that continuing education, you will be required to take 2 external proficiency tests per year. Please explain why you think this process is important and how it could benefit you while testifying on the stand as an expert witness. 2. Ethics is important in several careers but can be devastating in forensics. One violation of ethics and a good attorney will have your career in ruins. Please consider the scenarios below. Choose ONE and explain your answer. If you know your co-worker has falsified some data on a case that you both completed analysis on, would you report it to your supervisor? You arrive at a crime scene and find out it is the house of your wife’s ex-husband and you have a long history of conflict in the past five years. Is it ethical for you to continue on the case? The defense attorney made a mistake in defending the case on a DNA data and would lose the case for sure. Do you have an obligation to correct him? Use appropriate references when necessary. Provide a thoughtful response to at least one other classmate. You will have until Sunday at 11:59 pm to respond. Your responses will be graded using the following scale: 2 points: Detailed and original response. Reasoning is logical. Terms and concepts from the assigned materials are incorporated. 0.5 point: Proper form is used (grammar, spelling, style). If applicable, correct and full citations for sources are used. 0.5 point: Thoughtful response to at least one other classmate.

week 4 1. As an expert witness, part of our job is to break down complex ideas when testifying so that a jury of individuals who may have little or no knowledge of science can easily grasp what we are saying. The polymerase chain reaction is a concept that DNA experts are often asked to explain in court. For a moment, pretend you are an expert witness in a trial. How would you explain PCR to a jury? Remember, you are explaining it to a jury (with a potentially short attentive span because they are tired and hungry) so your response should be brief, yet clear and effective. Creative analogies are encouraged. 2. Occasionally, there can be mutations in DNA due to replication errors, transposable elements, or environmental hazard exposure. Discuss the different types of mutations possible (base pair substitution, insertion, deletion). What is an example of when a mutation could be harmful to an individual? What is an example of when a mutation could be beneficial? 3. Do you feel that cloning should be allowed in the US? Why or why not? Support your answer with examples. Note: Remember some feel stem cell research is a form of cloning. Use appropriate references when necessary. Provide a thoughtful response to at least one other classmate. You will have until Sunday at 11:59 pm to respond. Your responses will be graded using the following scale: 2 points: Detailed and original response. Reasoning is logical. Terms and concepts from the assigned materials are incorporated. 0.5 point: Proper form is used (grammar, spelling, style). If applicable, correct and full citations for sources are used. 0.5 point: Thoughtful response to at least one other classmate
week 5 Compare and contrast the following DNA analysis techniques: STRs, miniSTRs, mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA), and Y-STRs. Do you believe that one technique is superior to any of the other ones? Discuss why or why not. Use appropriate references when necessary. Provide a thoughtful response to at least one other classmate. You will have until Sunday at 11:59 pm to respond. Your responses will be graded using the following scale: 2 points: Detailed and original response. Reasoning is logical. Terms and concepts from the assigned materials are incorporated. 0.5 point: Proper form is used (grammar, spelling, style). If applicable, correct and full citations for sources are used. 0.5 point: Thoughtful response to at least one other classmate.
