Learning how to dig up the bodies
Aug. 27th, 2007 11:45 pmWent to the first session of "Introduction to Criminal Investigation" tonight, which was a lot of fun. It's a very small group, just seven students. Average age is probably 30, and I'm not the oldest student.
What surprised me is that apparently no one else had thought to read the opening chapters of the textbook ahead of time. It's been quite a while since I've been in school, but to me that was mere common sense. After all, presumably there was a reason why we were required to purchase the text, and going over the course syllabus wasn't going to consume the full three hour session.
That aside, the instructor was engaging, and it was great to be back in a classroom. Though it made for a very long day. Full day of work, an hour drive to campus, three hour class, and an hour drive back. Good thing it's only one day a week.
