Microbiology - Summer 09

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

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. :yeah:

Are there any sites or books that can help someone understand micro better?

I am taking my Micro at MC3 in PA. My lab final is Monday and my department final is Wednesday.....YEAH! Six intense weeks but well worth it. The class was really interesting and lab was awesome.

I haven't taken Physio yet, but Micro is definitely harder than Anatomy because in lab you actually have to know what your doing--your not merely memorizing models...I wish our school didn't have labs like one of the earlier posters said but then Micro would be super easy like intro to o-chem.

I start Micro on Tuesday for 10 weeks, meeting TR from 1-7pm (ouch). I have already taken the chem prereqs along with A&P I-II. I just need to take A&P III and English. I am hoping Micro will be just as easy as A&P was, otherwise it is going to be a brutal summer for me (keep in mind I have a 2 and 5 year old running around the house as well).

I wish everyone luck this summer and upcoming fall.

Today was my first day of micro! We are using Totora's 10th edition plus lab. My teacher seems great but she did stress that the class is extremely hard in the summer due to being doubled up! yikes!

Started on June 1st and I just finished my second unit of 5, so almost half way. I have a 95 and its going just fine. I'm taking it along with AP2 and General Psych. So if I can do it, then you all can too. Don't worry, you will do awesome!!!

I start class tomorrow. We are using the tortora 10th edition book too. How many hours a day is everyone studying? I'm pretty scared about this class. All I can do is do my best though.

I'm more nervous about the lab. What does lab and lab test/quizzes consist of?

I am studying about an hour a day for now - my instructor bases her tests on her powerpoint presentations and anything she covers in class so I am excited about that. For lab we are using Chess Case Studies and our quizzes will be based on specific case assignments.

Tomorrow is my final for Micro. 6 week condensed class. I have really enjoyed it though as we do real stuff in lab. As of today I only need a 57 on the final to get a B but I really want an A. I worried about this class too but I think in the end it was just so interesting that I got into quickly. Good luck

I study 5-6 hours a day, but it takes me like 3.5 hours to go through the chapter we just went over and like 1.5 hours to review the previous labs and read the intro for the new labs.
