Taken Spring 2009
Instructor: Elizabeth Gardner
This course served as an introductory class to the area of Forensic Toxicology. Spring 2009 was the first semester the class had been offered and the instructor's first time teaching a course in Toxicology. Overall, it was an informative course if the student took the personal initiative to do more on your own. First half of the semester consisted of powerpoint lectures and a few individual lab assignments. The most informative portion of the course involved a hands-on two day training session using the Toxi-lab kit. Other lab assignments included using the GC/MS on both known and unknown samples. The most tedious and somewhat unnecessary portion of the course included creating chapter outlines of each major class of drugs.
There were no tests so the majority of your grade comes from individual chapter assignments and the final project. Overall, if you are interested in merely scratching the surface of the area of toxicology and learning the basics this course would be a good idea. If you are interested in working in the area of Forensic Toxicology I would recommend taking a more advanced course in the actual Toxicology department.
