Course Description
A survey of scientific and biometric tools and
applications used to establish human
identity. Topics include identification of
missing persons; casualties of mass
disasters; victims of war crimes; and the
ethical, legal and social implications of
biometric technology.
Course goals and SLOs
LO1 Describe the basic scientific and biometric tools and applications used to establish
human identity. Students will be able to describe the basic concepts of pattern
recognition, the context, application and significance in human identification and
demonstrate an understanding of the probability and statistical calculations used in
these methods.
LO2 Explain the tools of modern molecular biology and their applications in
identification of criminals, human remains/missing persons and paternity.
LO3 Apply knowledge of biometric patterns, impressions and imaging in analytical
activities including fingerprints, bones, and facial reconstruction and demonstrate
analytical problem solving skills using the scientific method in oral and written
reports.
LO4 Describe the concepts of ethical, legal and social issues in the application of
forensic biometrics to human identification and recognition.

These extra credit points may be used to augment your
final point total.
Grading Policies
• Make-up exams will not generally be
permitted. However, under extraordinary
circumstances, with proper documentation
and approval by the instructor, a 15 page
single-spaced term paper of an instructor
assigned topic, may substitute for 1 exam.
• A+ 483.5 to 500

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
• Students should know that the University’s Academic Integrity Policy
is availabe at
http://www.sa.sjsu.edu/download/judicial_affairs/Academic_Integrity
_Policy_S07-2.pdf. Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced
by your enrollment at San Jose State University and the University’s
integrity policy, require you to be honest in all your academic course
work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the
office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The website for
Student Conduct and Ethical Development is available at
http://www.sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/index.html.
• Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on
exams or plagiarism (presenting the work of another as your own, or
the use of another person’s ideas without giving proper credit) will
result in a failing grade and sanctions by the University. For this class,
all assignments are to be completed by the individual student unless
otherwise specified. If you would like to include in your assignment
any material you have submitted, or plan to submit for another class,
please note that SJSU’s Academic Policy F06-1 requires approval of
instructors.
