Like a basic class in college/uni, or did she major in forensics or sth... sorry if I was unclear

I don't know what the criminal justice classes were like for her

But I do know I started criminal justice as a CTE in high school starting 2021, ending 2023. Best teacher ever. That may have only been 3 classes (Intro to Criminal Justice, The Fourth Amendment, and Forensics (actually there were four but I didn't take dual credit classes)) but I loved them in high school.

In community college when I was getting my associates of science in criminal justice, I took Introduction to Criminal Justice, Introduction to Corrections, Introduction to the Legal Process, Homeland Security (I definitely annoyed the professor with my stark opinions ;-;), Crime Scene Investigation and Criminal Investigation. I needed to take Intro to Criminal Justice, Intro to Legal Process, Criminal Investigation plus three Criminal Justice electives on top of the Compass Cores (English Comp, Literature, History, Sciences, etc) to get my associates.

Anyways, what I was getting to was I thought that was what I wanted. That one instructor made me dislike the major and field. That said, I originally fell in love with the idea in high school, so I thought I'd go and study to be a Forensic Technician, because that's what I wanted, and I wanted to have a specific field to be great in; Forensic Odontology. (aka teeth and teeth impressions).

The classes were pretty repetitive, I will admit that. If you learn something in one class, you'll likely hear the very same things with slight additions or modifications in another. Forensics and Crime Scene Investigation was great because it didn't repeat the same things being said in the other classes I took for that major and in high school.

Ooh, cool! Now I'm definitely considering pursuing this field...

Aww that sucks :< I hate when teachers, or in your case the instructor, ruins the entire subject for ya! Its the worst urgh

Oh goody! I hate when stuff is repeated...

Thank you for all this info <33

You studied forensics? That's so cool!!

Lol, lmk your thoughts when you're done! Its quite detailed, especially in that regard!

Yeah! I took a forensics class last year and loved it! We got to try and solve mock crime scenes and even created one for another csi team in our class to solve! It was a great class! I learned a lot there that I use now.

That sounds awesome and a lot of fun! I'd love to do sth like that!! Mhmm, forensics is a cool field to pursue...

Ooo! I hope you get the chance to! It was fun as a class (one of my friends irl is actually pursuing a career in forensics because of it!) but I’m not going to do it as a field. It is interesting though!

Hehe I hope so too! I'd never considered it before, but now that I think about it, it seems like a realistic option for me That's seriously cool though! If I may ask, in what level did you follow this class?

Oh! I’m still in high school, so I did a broad overview/intro level to it. we covered things like arsenic, anthropology, a little about ballistics, soil examination, blood, and other stuff!

We only have one class for it taught every other year, so I got lucky that it fit within my schedule!

My actual university degree when I graduate high school as of right now I plan to be a Bachelor of Science in Communications and hopefully a minor in history.

I’m back
