Forensic Science and Criminal Investigation
TPS Publishing Inc. has created two courses; Forensic Science and Criminal Investigation. These courses have been constructed with the intent to enhance the learning and teaching within schools. Our text is structured to be user friendly for all teachers, irrespective of their background, and is simpler for students to follow than many alternative texts.
We have endeavored to keep our offering interesting to students, and teachers alike, by including real life cases (experienced by our forensic chemist author!) as well as a wide variety of activities and assignments, some of which include; role play, essay writing, use of the arts, as well as the more traditional practice tests.
Throughout the course vocabulary is a central focus. ELPS’ are directly written to, as well as including numerous other language learning techniques. This will assist all students, but in particular will help students who struggle with English language.
The course has been written by educators who care passionately about providing the opportunity to all students for post-secondary education, enabling quality applicants for all careers. We have developed innovative programs, so that students will be engaged and achieve high success in their course work and examinations.
