Micro Fall 2010

mangopeach · Jul 25, 2010

I am also taking Micro over the fall and the book we'll be using is "Microbiology an Introduction by Tortora". I am really looking forward to this class as is my last pre-req... yey....

This is my last pre-req also. We are also using the Tortora book. Gotta see if I can get it online or rent it from Chegg. Its almost 200 bucks in the school book store:uhoh3:

I am using the Tortora book also, but I don't have a lab book listed. I bought a brand new international version for $60.00 with the online access codes from Abe Books.

My classes start on Aug. 23 and my professor has good ratings on Rate My Professor, so I am really looking forward to it.

I have been browsing through the book and there are some good clinical pictures. My teenage daughter happened to open it to the infections of the eye part and screamed in horror :eek: . I think she's scarred for life.

It has good gross out factor for family and friends. Just as a heads-up, there are graphic pics of STD's for those with little ones.

Regards, LB

My registration page has the first day as 9/1 but the syllabus is 9/7?? can't find an email for the professor. The ratemyprof posts have me terrified.

studentnurseCT,

Oh no , Have you looked on the school directory on the school Website to find your Professor, should have # and e-mail posted on something.

Hey everyone,

I'm taking both micro and A&P this fall. The book we are using is Microbiology, 7th ed. by Black. The used book at our bookstore is $156.50, so I'm looking to see if I can find it cheaper online. Here's to all of us passing this class with flying colors! :yeah:
