Microbiology

In the fall I plan on taking Microbiology. What topics should start to read up on?

I am taking it this fall as well. I vote for enjoying your break! We don't get too many of them! I have read ahead before in the past and I don't think it really gives you that much of an edge in the grand scheme of things.

meeep is right. I LOVED microbiology (I could have majored in it) but you should relax. Seriously. It is a lot of material and labwork (assuming you have a lab) and you will be able to handle it when the time comes if you manage your time.

Go to the beach or something!

One piece of info is that it's a totally different ball game than A&P. Expect to do experiments daily or every other day. It was fun and very interesting.

I've heard it's not as difficult/time consuming as A&P though - accurate?

I agree with everyone else. Enjoy your break!

But micro is definitely different from A&P.

Different than A&P. depends on the teacher whther it is more difficult. I found the lecture much easier. But the lab was much more involved. Not hard. Just involved. And not correlated to lecture like A&P was.

Enjoy your break.

I took Microbiology before A&P.

I thought Microbiology was much harder than A&P, but that's just me.

Get the micro coloring book from amazon - it covers everything in the class.
