GRADING STANDARD: Active and frequent participation in each chapter is required for optimum performance in this course. Students will be assessed based

on their participation and performance in class and laboratory:

Lecture exams and quizzes: 75%

Laboratory assignments, quizzes, technique evaluation, practical exams: 25%

CODE: BIOL 213 TITLE: Microbiology

DIVISION: Science/Health Science DEPARTMENT: Biology

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The biology of pathogenic microorganisms will be stressed, emphasizing their microscopic and molecular

aspects. Students will describe, in detail, the relationship existing between the host-parasite complex during the diseased state. They

will also become acquainted with those characteristics which endow certain microbes with a pathogenic nature. Students will be able

to list and characterize various pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotic parasites (including fungi, algae, protozoa, and helminths).

Isolation and identification techniques in microbiology will be mastered by the student in the laboratory. The role of chemotherapy,

immunology and serology used to combat pathogens will be examined thoroughly. Finally, the homeostatic defense mechanism of the

body, especially those against invading microorganisms, will be discussed in great detail.

PREREQUISITES: A grade of “C” or higher in BIOL 102 or BIOL 112.

COREQUISITES: None

CREDITS: 4 LECTURE HOURS: 3 LAB HOURS: 3

Syllabus

A student must have an average of 65% or higher for the classroom component and an average of 65% or higher for the

laboratory component of the course in order to earn a passing grade for the course.

Upon completion of the course, grades will be assigned as follows:

A = 92 – 100%

A- = 89 - 91% C+ = 76 – 78%

B+ = 86 – 88% C = 70 – 75%

B = 82 – 85% D = 65 – 69%

B- = 79 - 81% F = <65%

Unit examination results will be reported as the grade assigned by the faculty calculated to the first

decimal place. These grades will be weighed according to course grading policy. In calculating the course

grade, 0.5 will round up to the next numerical grade and 0.4 will round down to the next lower numerical

grade.

A grade of C or higher is required in all prerequisite courses. Career studies courses must have a grade of C or higher to count toward

the Mathematics / Science Program – Biology Option.

Students are permitted to withdraw from the course without penalty until approximately 80% of the semester is complete. Please see

term schedule for the exact deadline.

At the end of the semester, application for an Incomplete may be made if a student with proper documentation needs to complete no

more than one lecture exam and/or one laboratory practical. The granting of an Incomplete is at the discretion of the instructor.

(Please see Instructor’s syllabus for additional Grading Policies.)

DEPARTMENT POLICIES: Attendance during class and laboratory sessions is strongly recommended for optimum performance in biology courses.

Lecture exams will be given in class.

Laboratory practicals will be given during laboratory sessions, in accordance with schedules provided by the learning assistants.

Exams and practicals must be taken at the times designated by the instructor or learning assistant. A student who misses a lecture

exam or laboratory practical must provide prior notification and proper documentation in order to take the exam or laboratory

practical. The acceptance of said prior notification and proper documentation will be determined by the instructor.

Documentation must be provided within one week of the student’s return to the classroom for a make-up exam or laboratory practical

to be scheduled. A student who is unable to provide proper documentation for a missed exam or laboratory practical will be given a

grade of zero for that exercise. Students may not re-take exams or laboratory practicals on which they perform poorly.

Requirements for the completion of laboratory are listed in the laboratory responsibility sheets for individual courses. Requirements

for course completion are listed in individual instructor syllabi.
