Just finished studying for tomorrow night's exam. Review questions included such gems as:

Know agencies involved in terrorism investigations. Well here the alphabet list goes on forever--on the federal level it would probably be easier to list agencies that weren't involved in terrorism investigations.

Most common occupation for robbery victim? Taxi driver, followed by convenience store clerk.

Techniques for arson investigation. Lots of stuff on burn patterns, burn damage, testing for fire starting devices and accelerants, checking for financial motives, but much of the key advice boils down to: get experts to help you.

Understand Ponzi scheme and how to analyze it. Ah, the classic financial pyramid. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Have I mentioned how much I'm going to miss this class when it's over?
