Microbes and Human Health Laboratory

As a foundation course for many healthcare disciplines, the laboratory experience endeavors to illustrate and apply the principles of microbiology and sterile technique. This course should be taken concurrently or following BIOL 2040. It will meet every other week in the lab to perform microscopy, isolations and plating illustrating the lecture material. The opposite weeks, the course will meet in the classroom to take quizzes, review and analyze laboratory-acquired data, with a focus on scientific writing for laboratory reports. A $45 lab fee will apply for any in-person sections (excluding Military Campus programs).
