Required Texts:
Microbiology, A Human Perspective, 6th ed., E. Nester, D. Anderson, C.
Evans Roberts. and M. Nester, McGraw Hill Publishers, 2009.
Microbiology Experiments: A Health Science Perspective, 6th ed., J.
Kleyn, and M. Bicknell, Wm. C. Brown Publishers, 2009.
Optional:
A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory, 3rd ed., Michael

Course Materials:
I will be using ANGEL to post lecture material, study guides, and other
worksheets/activities for the course. Once you are registered for the
course you will be able to access the course materials at this website:
http://angel.northseattle.edu.
To log in to the course site for the first time:
User ID = your full 9 digit Student ID #
Password = the first five letters of your last name or your entire last
name if it is fewer than five letters
Course Prerequisites:
Two college level biology and chemistry lab courses or one of each
with a grade of 2.0 or better. If you are completing this course as a prerequisite for a nursing or allied health program, you should be taking this
class after completing the human anatomy and physiology courses and
all chemistry courses.
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 Exams
50%

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 is a comprehensive exam based on
experiments done in class. Anything done in the lab may show up on the exam. You may not use your
notes or lab manual for the exam. It is a “practical” style exam which may include such things as
identification of specimens under the microscope, identification of specific biochemical tests,
recognition of bacteria on different types of agar medium.
Lab Reports The lab reports will consist of the exercises found in the laboratory workbook and will
include all data, drawings and completion of questions on the report pages 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.
Attendance and Commitment: Students should attend every class session. It is the student's
responsibility to obtain lecture notes, handouts, or other materials in case of an absence. Since this is a
specialized lab class requiring live organisms you will not be able to make-up any missed labs. A
student who stops attending the class without an official withdrawal will be assigned a grade based on
the work completed up to that point. This is a course that will require a great deal of individual effort by
each student. You should expect to spend an average of 12-14 hours/week studying for this class.
Electronic Devices: Out of respect for your instructor and fellow students, please turn off cell phones
and pagers before class. No electronic devices may be used during exams.
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated, and will result in a ZERO for the affected exam, quiz, or
assignment. A second offense will result in a withdrawal from the class for the remainder of the
quarter.
