Goals To teach the basic principles of method validation and to teach the national and international standards and procedures of the methods used in forensic sciences, thus enabling students to develop their practical skills in the laboratory environment.
Course Content The definition and importance of method validation will be emphasised. In this context, students will learn the basic concepts of method validation and how reliability and accuracy are assessed. In addition, the role of the validation process in forensic sciences and internationally accepted standards will be examined. In addition, students will be taught in detail the steps used for method validation in a laboratory setting. These steps will include how to determine validation parameters such as accuracy, precision, specificity and scalability, data analysis methods and how to interpret the results. In addition, students will learn these topics practically through laboratory studies and case studies.
Learning Outcomes 1) Acquires the ability to define and explain the importance of method validation.
2) Develops the capability to recognize and apply national and international standards for methods used in forensic sciences.
3) Gains the skill to plan and implement the necessary steps for method validation in a laboratory setting.
