Microbiology - Summer 09

[Sand_Dollar]

My class starts on June 1st. Its a 10 week long semester and I'm taking it along with A&P II and General Psych. Thought I would start this thread since I know a few others have to be taking it this summer too. I'll let you know what we have in the way of assignments and tests when we start. We're using the Cowan textbook btw. I'm actually excited about this class, should be fun.

I am taking my class at Montgomery County Community College. So far so good. I have had three test and I have a low A high B in the class and I am now past mid-point.

The labs are excellent. We are actually doing things and looking at stuff under the microscope. I am definitely a handwasher but I have not been to concerned about getting anything as we work in an aseptic atmospher. Three weeks left then A&P II and then I am done with my pre-reqs!
