Welcome and Introduction
- ToggleWelcome to CH 114 Introduction to Forensic Chemistry!
CH 114 does not have a required textbook, only a lab packet available for purchase from the Titan Store. In place of a text, online links will be posted for each listed topic. Students are expected to read these required articles in preparation for class discussions and labs.
Forensics is a constantly evolving field so new and relevant articles may be added to the reading list at any time. And, if you find an interesting, relevant article or news story, please share the link.
