Who is Taking Micro this summer? Here is a thread that we can all refer to for support. If you have any links to helpful websites please feel free to add them.

What text book is everyone using? At my school we use 'Microbiology-A Human Perspective'.

Princess, who are you taking? I took Monroe at Norfolk campus, she is DA BOMB!!!!!!!

I am taking Professor Horeth at the Beach campus. I had him last fall for Human Bio. He was awesome.

I'm happy to see that I am ot the only one crazy enough to take Micro over the summer, lol.

I'm sure that we will be able to get a sticky so that we can easily find this thread.

I'm taking it over 2nd summer session (6 weeks, yikes!). We're also using the 4th edition Talaro textbook. The professor has great evaluations on ratemyprofessor.com and seems very caring, so hopefully it won't be too bad.

Hi everyone,

I have Microbiology from June 27-August 7, four days a week. The school may be changing the text for this semester (common issue at this college). They presently use Totoro's Microbiology.

[RN007]

I'm in. Text: Intro to Micro, Nester. It's the only class I'm taking this summer so I can spend time w/my kids during their break. It should be a breeze after med-surg, psych nursing and 'Do It Yourself' A&P last semester (nice guy but can't teach; had to learn it on my own; I think he's teaching micro, too, yippee, but he gives huge curves, so I can handle him one more time, I think).

I wish everyone (and me) the best!

Hey all! I am taking micro this summer. it starts May 30th and ends on the 3rd of July. I have to go 4 days a week. Not sure of the title of our book but the author is Bauman. I am very nervous about it!!!! I will be checking back w/you all. Good luck to all!!!
