TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: MODEL MAKING:

Objective of the Practice: To provide a thorough understanding of the construction and

working of instruments and gadgets used in different fields of science

The Actual Practice: The students are asked to make models of gadgets (typewriter),
instruments (DSLR camera), firearms (different kinds of guns, bullets) that is taught at a

theoretical level in order. As a thorough understanding of crime scenes is an essential skill set
of every forensic science graduate, the students are also encouraged to use models to

reconstruct the crime scene. To further aid students in understanding life processes,

Professors often make on-the-spot 3D structures using paper and readily available material
during the lectures. Other science disciplines too use models to represent an idea, an object or

even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be

experienced directly.

Outcome: The activity enabled the students to obtain a thorough understanding of the
theoretical concepts on instruments, gadgets and crime scenes or scientific principles which

they are able to carry forward and remember the same beyond the classroom and exams.

TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: HANDS ON TRAINING BY VISITING CRIME SCENES:
Objective of the Practice: To provide hands on training on handling real life crime scenes,
functions of police stations and other law enforcing agencies

The Actual Practice: Students are taken to visit the on-site crime scene and live

demonstrations of various aspects of crime scene investigations, identifying, collecting and
handling of evidences etc are dealt with.

Outcome: This activity has given an insight into the real life crime scenes and also has

managed to motivate the students towards the field. The students are able to apply various
theoretical knowledge learnt in the classroom to real life scenarios.
