Campus COURSE OUTLINE BIOL 2230 is an introductory microbiology course with the emphasis on bacteria. The lecture will cover lab equipment and procedures, cytology, genetics, morphology, and physiology of important microorganisms. The lectures will culminate in a unit on invasiveness, resistance and host immunity and the significance of microbes in everyday life. TEXT: Talaro and Talaro.

HYPERCLINIC DISEASE and CASE STUDY REPORT: each student will be assigned a disease to investigate using the Hyperclinic 2 software. All possible causes plus a case study will be explored. A written report will follow (worth: 50 pts). LECTURE TOPIC OUTLINE READING IN TEXT A. Introduction and History Chapter 1 B. Microscopy/Tools of the Trade/Basic Techniques Chapter 3 C.

Chapters 26, 10 Final Exam ABSENCES: You are expected to attend both lecture and lab; ten points will be added to a student's total accumulated points at the end of the semester if there is no more than two absences. Absence on the day of a test results in a make-up of greater difficulty that is administered the week before finals. DON'T MISS! BE ON TIME! It is the student's responsibility to tell instructor at classes' end, if late. Three lates = 1 absence. LECTURE TESTS: A total of four lecture exams given with each worth a total of 100 points. The fourth or FINAL lecture exam is not comprehensive over the entire semester. Extra points from the terminology definition packet from each exam period are added directly to each exam score. Exams are composed of multiple choice, true-false, and matching questions. biol2230_lecture_course_outline_fall.doc 8/4/03 Page 2 of 4 Students will be able to see their test outcome at the end of the next class period and are encouraged to come by my office during office hours for a more thorough review of their test; exams must be returned back to the instructor or a "0" grade is recorded. TERMINOLOGY DEFINITIONS: Terminology packets will be available to each student prior to each test period (total of four). The first three packets are worth six points each, while the last one is worth eight points resulting in potentially twenty-six extra points by the semester's end. These definition packets are highly beneficial for the student but are strictly on a volunteer basis. Grading will be based on neatness, completeness, and adequate, thorough discussion relative to the class discussions. Definitions straight out of the book are unacceptable and should include many examples and drawings or diagrams. Definitions are due each exam date with points added directly to the student's test score. “MEDICALLY IMPORTANT ORGANISM EXAM”: You will be given a list of microorganisms (bacteria, protists, fungi, viruses), their characteristics, & associated disease or condition to know etc.; exam will be given the week before finals. Total worth: 50 points FINAL EXAM: 9:00 class – Wednesday, Dec. 10 – 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM LAB EXAMS: Two lab exams are given with each worth 75 points. Lab will contribute 150 points to each student’s total points accumulation and will be averaged with the lecture points. Lab schedule is discussed on a separate handout. GRADING: At the end of the term, a possible 650 required points will be accumulated from which an average will be computed. The average is determined by dividing each student's total accumulated points by 650 at the end of the semester. SCALE: 91-100 = A 81-90 = B 71-80 = C 61-70 = D below 60 = F POINT BREAKDOWN: 300 points (First three lecture exams) 100 points (Final lecture exam) 150 points (lab) 50 points (Medically important microorganism exam) 50 points (Hyperclinic disease and case study report) 650 points YOUR SCORES: Exam 1: Exam 2: Mid Term Lab: Exam 3: Final Lab: Organism Exam: _______ Report: Final Exam OBJECTIVES: The student who satisfactorily completes this course will be able to: 1. Discuss major contributions of nineteenth and twentieth century scientists to the developing science of microbiology. 2. Describe two general patterns of cellular organization found in microorganisms. 3. Identify the metric units used in measuring microorganisms. 4. Differentiate between cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and bacteria. 5. Explain why viruses cannot be classified as procaryotes and eucaryotes. 6. Describe several benefits derived from microbial populations on earth. 7. Describe five types of microscopes and one purpose for which each is used.
