    Thanks, Kimynurse!

    We did more lab tests that will relate to our Unknown project. Lactose fermentation, Deaminase, Decarboxylase, etc. I'll be interested to see how they turn out tomorrow. Love the purple color of the lysine test Two more labs to go until we start Unknowns...

    Earned a 96% on my 3rd exam this morning. Considering all the personal junk I was stressing over when I went in, I'm extremely pleased with that A.

    Our Lab midterm is next Tuesday, so I'll be doing some studying. My lab partner and I practiced gram staining today in anticipation of our end-of-semester unknowns. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll get at least one more opportunity to practice.

    I'm glad most of you are doing well...really! This class is killing me! I have a 4.0 in my pre-reqs so far, including A&P so I'm not stupid. I studied my butt off for exam #2 today and I may have failed it. I was confident going in but the questions seemed to be in another language! I attend all of the extra study sessions and I ask questions in class. I just don't understand the way this professor comes up with his questions. OK, thanks for letting me vent. I will try to get through this!

    Hey I wanted to chime in. I am taking my lab practical next thursday and I am dumbfounded. I have no I dea what I need to study. I have been so focused in my other classes and the lecture portion of Micro that my mind has been a revolving door for Micro lab.. How did yall or are yall going to study for you practicals?(assuming you have practicals). After that then we start our unknowns.

    Thanks.

    We get a study guide outline for the lab exam but basically it's STUDY EVERYTHING we did in class. We have to ID things (what test is this? what is is used for?), we have to write the steps for procedures (in detail, i,e, time of incubation, what organism we used, what temp the water was, etc), she asks questions from videos we watch, and anything in any handout or in our textbook is fair game. She does T/F, multiple choice, matching, and short answer.

    We have a study guide in our lab manual, but like RunnerRN, it mentions just about everything we learned in class. Our midterm will be part practical/part written, so I guess I'll be studying the entire first half of my lab manual this weekend.
