I have been an effective learner by going to the R.O.P to further my knowledge about crime scene investigations. I have learned a lot already, but I have done extra research and listened to lectures about different investigations. In one of the modules we had a crime scene simulation and we had to take all our knowledge and apply it. We had to pretend that we were Death Investigators and arrive at the scene and take allllllll the notes that an investigator would take. We took all the measurements of all the evidence and at the end we had to pronounce the time of death and everything at a "court hearing" I Learned a lot! and a lot goes into a crime scene. There are so many variables to take into consideration. This is an example of the crime scene notes that we have to take. We have to measure every little thing. we start with a point of reference and work off of there. Then, move on to the measurement of the evidence. These notes are very important in a crime scene because they can serve to recreate a scene and see if anything is out of place.
I can improve my effective learning by taking a dip in the specific ocean and do more independent research. I can do more research on the separate variables that happen at a crime scene like the blood splatter, projectiles, weapons and other. I can also try to get a tour for a coroner's office so that I can see what else goes on. ?
