Week 1 – Journal 
You’re an Expert!
In Chapter 1 of the text, the author discusses several forensic science specialties. Whether or not your goal is to have a career in forensic science, list what specialties you found interesting. Identify what appeals to you about that specialty. Reflect on your goals in using your degree, and list two areas of the lab you would prefer to work and why. List at least three areas where your work would contribute to forensic science.
The journals are your opportunity to reflect on the topics of the class and how they may impact your personal and professional life. The journals are only accessible to you and the instructor, so feel free to write however much you like on the topic provided. Though academic writing style is always important, this activity is focused on your process of reflection rather than your use of grammar.
