We will be finishing up tool mark analysis this week.  Test on forensic glass analysis and impression and prints (shoe, tire, tool) will be Thursday, 3-21.

We will continue our discussion of shoe impressions and prints, then move on to tire impressions and prints.  Lots of lab and hands-on activities involving both!!

We will finish the forensic glass unit with a closer look at density and becke lines.  Next will be the units on impressions and prints (other than fingerprints).  Shoe impressions and prints first.
