Major threads
ou will need to...
Select, with your partner, ONE area of forensic science
that you are interested in.
Select, from within your chosen area, enough pracs to
make up TWO periods worth of work.
Allocate ALL of the theory work from your chosen area
into the remaining periods we have.
hoose one...
