Microbiology - Fall 2008

Published

Hi ya'll! Anybody taking Micro this coming fall semester and want to form a study group? I did this for A&P I and II and it helped tremendously! I'm taking it along with Chem 1151 (Survey of Chem). Thanks!

Specializes in PICU/Pedi.

Can't say too much about micro yet...Lecture was very interesting the other day. In lab, we started to look at the letter 'e' under the microscope, just to get used to using it, but I never could see it! And lab was over before she could get around to me (lots of people were having that problem).

I am pleased that A&P and micro do seem to complement each other, so far. By the time we started looking at microscopes in micro lab, I had already been introduced to the ones in A&P lab, and there's only a few differences between them. The nutrition class I am taking also seems to kind of go along with the other two classes. That's go to be a plus.

Well we got homework on the first day (last monday) which is due tomorrow. Chapter 2 is over chemistry and to save time we are completly skipping over that chapter - but to make sure we know chemistry, she gave us 45 questions to answer about it. :down: I've got almost all of it done, but am stuck on a few questions. Its convalent and ionic bonding that I just cannot get (like why they can dissolve in water). :banghead:

But the rest of the actual micro stuff is pretty interesting to me so far.

Due to my school not holding classes Mon or Tues of this week, I don't have class again until next Monday! I finally got my book in the mail, so at least I can start studying. No word yet on when our lab manuals are going to be ready...

I start Micro tomorrow on Sept. 3. Our lab book cost $102.50. It is spiral bound and paper back. I was kind of shocked at the price. I am looking forward to Micro, although I have had it before but it was too old so I am taking it again now. I am also interested in an online study group. Any takers?

I've got Micro tonight and I'm going early to turn in my application to the nursing school...I'm so nervous and excited all at the same time...it's a long shot but I'm really praying I get in and can start nursing school in January! Letters are supposed to go out mid-to-late October.

I actually go to 2, lol. I'm taking Micro at a community college in NW Georgia and Chemistry at Kennesaw State. I work during the day and this was the only way to be able to take both classes at night.
