Hey guys my first day of lecture was today 1/26. We covered the history only. Our first exam is in #3 weeks and cover chapters1, 3,5,6,and 23. I have lab on Wenesday so i will see how that goes.

Blue are you planning to go to CSU in chico or are staying at butte college?

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.

here is a study question for all you in micro. Which of these groups has 70s ribosomes, peptidoglycan, and plasmids?A.Bacteria B.Plantae C.Animalia D.Fungi E. viruses?

Specializes in ICU.

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.
