Last month students in Professor Pete Patnode’s Criminal Investigations (CRJ 142) class began a conversation with him about what their final exam would look like. They didn’t want to do a lengthy paper, and he was opposed to a multiple choice test. The students decided they wanted the opportunity to show what they had learned by going through a mock crime scene exercise, and Patnode agreed. “I love hands-on learning. It’s the best way to measure what a student retains, what they can use, and how they can retrieve it and put it into action,” said Patnode.
