Office Hours:Mondays and Wednesdays 3:00-4:00 PM or by appointment

Course Hours:MWTh10:00 – 11:50 AM

Tuesdays10:00-10:50 AM

Required Texts:Microbiology, An Introduction, 9th ed., G. J. Tortora, B. R. Funke, and C. L. Case, The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Co., Inc., 2007.

Microbiology Experiments: A Health Science Perspective, 5th ed., J. Kleyn, and M. Bicknell, , Wm. C. Brown Publishers, 2007.

Optional:A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory, 2nd ed., Michael Leboffe and Burton Pierce, 1999.

Course Prerequisites:Two college level biology and chemistry lab courses or one of each with a grade of 2.0 or better

This course transfers as upper division credits to the University of Washington. It is taught at a level that requires some prior familiarity with biology and organic chemistry. It will be difficult for you to do well if you do not already have an understanding of basic cell biology. Knowledge of basic chemistry is also necessary.

Grading: The final grade in the course will be based on the following items:

Lecture Exams50%

Laboratory

quizzes15%

practical exam/unknowns20%

lab reports15%

Lecture Exams: The exams may be composed of multiple choice, matching, and short answer questions. Please bring a Scantron and a #2 pencil for each exam. There will be no make-up exams unless special arrangements are made in advance.

Laboratory Practical Exam: The laboratory practical exam will be based on experiments done in class and will include specimen slides under the microscope, cultures on specific media, identification of biochemical reactions, etc. Anything done in the lab may show up on the exam. You may not use your notes or lab manual for the exam.

Lab Reports: The lab reports will consist of the exercises found in the laboratory workbook and will include all data, as well as answering questions at the end of the exercise. They are due the lab period following completion of the experiment.

Quizzes: Quizzes are given the first 15 minutes of lab class and cover content from the lab exercises. There will be no make-up quizzes given due to tardiness or absence.

Chemical Sensitivities: Due to the increasing numbers of individuals developing chemical sensitivities and the increasing awareness of such conditions, everyone who attends this class is asked to refrain from wearing any fragrance or perfume. The greatest feasible efforts will also be taken to ensure a fresh air environment free of not only the above mentioned fragrances but also potentially harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, carpet odor, organic solvents, etc. Individuals who are unsure of the importance of this policy should see the Associate Dean for additional information.
