We have gone over acid fast stains, gram +-, internal/external structures of Prokaryote-Bacteria, Eukaryotes, types of scanning microscopes, golden age of microbiology, etc.

Our first quiz is next Wed on 4 chapters. The chapter on internal/external structures of microorganisms, staining, etc is a bit overwhelming. I tape my professor's lectures and listen to them at work. This week, I am listening to 2hrs of lectures a day at work and 1 hour at home. It is about 6hrs of lectures for this test. I have also made tables summarizing the differences.

I am really trying to get an A out the gate but the exam is 100 questions and no extra credit. Ah well...lots of studying to do.

sorry i am coming in late to the game on this..

class started jan 12 - online. 16 week class. we are using tortora funke case's microbiology: an introduction. each unit is 2 weeks long and we usually cover 2-4 chapters per unit. unit 1 went over chapters 1, 3 and 4. we just started unit 2 on monday - chapters 5, 6, 7.

this class is kicking my heiney! i am taking a&p 1 (8 week class) and chemistry (8 week class), so i am cramming down a lot in a little time. but if i finish these pre-reqs i should be able to start acc bsn fall 2009.
