Microbiology: Spring 2010

Published

Hello. Anyone out there taking Micro this semester? I thought I would start a thread for us to talk and discuss microbiology for the semester. I am looking forward to it.

What textbook are you going to be using? I am using Microbiology: With Diseases by Taxonomy - Robert Bauman. I am picking it up tomorrow.

I think it will be a great semester! :yeah:

I start on the 18th too. I am going to contact my instructor to see what chapter to read before the first class. I am going to try hard to stay on top of things.

I'm very excited as well :D I took biology 1 ( I was doing a pre-med then changed to nursing) So Microbiology should be great for me.

Hope you do great too :) Don't hesitate to send me a message with questions, or venting about the class lol!

I'm going for the BSN at my university :nurse:

Good luck,

Mabel
