I'm taking Microbio this spring as well. I don't know who's teaching or what book we using yet. This is my last semester of pre-reqs (I'm also taking A&P II and Medical Law & Ethics).

I start Micro 1/11/10 and we are using Microbiology: An Introduction by Tortora.

My school sells this book and the lab manual (by Cappucino) for about $150 but I found last year's edition for WAAAAAYYYYY cheaper so I might be using that one.

i'm taking this too! it's been a roller coaster ride trying to get in though. i was able to get into the lecture on first try and lab at second try. because i got my second choice for the lab, it was overlapping with my philosophy class. so i deleted the philosophy class-or so i thought. i actually deleted the lab! this all happened 20 min. after my registration time (all online). anyways, by the time i tried to get back into the class, I found out every single lab was ALREADY full. stupid budget cuts!

somehow a few weeks ago, while randomly checking for classes, i saw that there was ONE spot open in one of the micro labs and i snatched it up! it was such a relief. anyways, i'm reallly nervous! this will be my second semester in college and i start the 26th. i was able to pull off great grades my first semester and my professor has raving reviews on ratemyprofessor.com. thanks a million for all those links! good luck to everyone!!
