I teach Crime Scene Technology, which is a very hands-on aspect of forensic training. Much of our curriculum is geared toward what feels like on-the-job training. In keeping with this, I like to begin each day by conducting a "briefing," just as is done in a law enforcement setting. This way, the students feel as if they are coming to work, not to class. By treating them like professionals and calling them crime scene technicians, they have responded as such and our briefings get better and better!
