You are only allowed to make up one major test grade. If you know in advance you will be absent,
please let me know. Lab practical may not
be made up. Quizzes or daily grades may not be made up.
Class Policies:
There is zero tolerance for cheating.
You earn your grade. I do not give extra credit assignments and I
do not “give” points at the end of the semester, so do not ask.

1 comprehensive final = 200
4 out of class assignments @25 each = 100
Daily Grades = 100
Total = 800
Lab
ejournal with daily log and photographs for lab work = 200
3 practical exams 100 pts each = 300
Unknowns = 200
Total = 800
Aseptic technique test = 25
Possible = 825
Books and Materials
Lecture Text: Microbiology textbook @ Bookstore
Lab Manual: Microbiology Laboratory Manual @ Bookstore
Materials: Test Scantrons (long forms and short forms)
GOGGLES AND GLOVES ARE MANDATORY FOR MANY LABS.
