Microbiology fall 2010

I'm taking it too~ Fingers crossed for an A for both of us!

Congrats itsaroad!

Yup, good luck to you too Gavinsmom!

I'm starting my class at Montgomery CC on September 2nd (or 3rd? I forget).

7:00-10:00pm Tuesday and Thursday. Fun stuff.

After getting an A in A&P taught by a notoriously difficult, but great, professor (class avg was D+), I'm hoping Micro this fall will be a breeze.

I can hope, can't I? haha. Good luck everyone.

D+? Oh wow, that's awful. Our class average for A&P 1 and 2 was about low 70s, so what's normally expected.

I got an 89.9% in A&P2, but the teacher was adamant about no bumping no matter what.

I just finished Microbiology (Summer School...15 weeks into 10 weeks). The class was a killer; I managed to get a B by 2.5 points!!! In 10 weeks we had 5 lecture exams, 2 Lab Practicals, 2 Case Studies, 1--15 minute power point presentation, an unknown organism report that had to be presented in a brochure format and lab notebooks were due 2 times during the session (and I probably forgot something...) The class was interesting but the amount of work required was insane! About 1/2 the class dropped and girls were crying after the final!!! Be prepared to spend A LOT of time on this class.

Signing in for fall Micro:yeah:Good luck to all

I am also taking Micro for the second time around...took in 2007 made a "C"...hopefully an "A" this time! Good luck!

I'm Taking Micro too this Fall. And a Nutrition course plus Anatomy and Physiology first semester so I am planning on having my hands full... I hope it all turns out for the best :) Really glad to have an online support group already though!!!

Glad all of you are here. This *should* be the last prereq to allow me to apply to four schools this coming year. Here in CA, the programs are seriously impacted. Micro is a little intimidating (mostly mastering the lab techniques).

I am taking it this fall as my last pre-req as well. I've been accepted to Duke for their accelerated program starting Jan ... Woo hoo! Am glad for this thread as I would like the support. Took my a and p classes at a different community college and so don't know anyone at this one. Good luck all!

I am taking micro over the summer and have 3 weeks left. It hasn't been too bad. Fair amount of work with a couple of presentations and group project in the mix, but interesting. It's sort of exciting to work in a level 2 lab and work with things like MRSA.

Our group is doing a project involving MRSA and breastmilk and it was amazing to see our seeded plates and the big zones of inhibition around the breastmilk filled wells.
