Micro Fall 2010

I'm taking micro in the fall too. Advice would be good.

when is your first day?

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 . 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.

i am also taking micro this semester. the book we are using is foundations in microbiology by talaro.

any helpful advice for taking micro would be greatly appreciated!!! i need to maintain my 4.0, and i am worried this micro class will ruin that for me :uhoh21: does anyone know of any helpful sites/videos for micro (in addition to the ones posted in the thread).

using the exact same book, it sure does have some gross pics, was looking through it and got grossed out myself, i guess this feeling will pass,...i hope

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!

When does everyone start? I start on 8/16. Well thats the day school starts again but my Micro classes will start on 8/17

I'll be taking Micro this upcoming semester, AGAIN.

Starting August 30th, 2010.

Hopefully I succeed this time around.

@ happified

@ ganellt

Oops, I created a duplicate thread for this since I didn't see this topic. >_

I'm also taking microbio in the fall for 2010. I'm starting first week of September. I don't have a syllabus or know what books to order yet as it's at a CC I haven't taken classes at previously.

Let's all study hard and get As!
