Taken Summer 2011
Instructor: Dan Matteo
Review:
For me, this was one of the best classes I have ever taken. Everything we learned can be applied to was is done in a real drug chemistry or toxicology lab. The teacher for drug chemistry was Dan Matteo and the teacher for toxicology was Karen. Both are current forensic scientists that work in the Birmingham Regional laboratory for ADFS. They gave real examples of situations they have been in. Moot court was extremely helpful. Dan questioned us very well giving us questions that the defense will get us to fall for even when we become professionals.

TOX 711: Principles of Toxicology
Taken: Summer 2010
Instructor: Coral A. Lamartiniere
This was a very fast paced course giving different views on toxicology. It was taught by several different lecturers, including pharmacology/toxicology professors, poison control center personnel, and animal researchers. The first few lectures were very difficult to follow because they were focused more for pharmacology students. Very little, if any, information was relevant to the field of forensic science. The other lectures were interesting, easier to follow, and could (slightly) be related to forensic science, but most of this information can be found in other classes, such as JS670: Elements of Forensic Science and JS673:Forensic Drug Analysis and Toxicology. It is possible to get a good grade, but A LOT of effort is required. If you are debating between taking this class or another class for the summer, I would suggest taking the other.
