Student Testimonials
“The skills I learned were invaluable in keeping track of the hundreds of invoices and identifying the same delivery dates. Also, due to the complexity of this case, flow chart skills were also necessary to keep track of all the subjects, vehicles, and locations.” -Tacoma, Washington

“This class helped me to more accurately identify sources where evidence could be located and ultimately was. It prepared me how to approach my investigations by helping me to think more broadly than I previously did.” -Indianapolis, Indiana
