Purchase a PIN for Labster from the LCC bookstore ($41.95) COARSE DESCRIPTION
An introduction to the fundamentals of microbiology, including: evolution, microbial structures and functions, metabolism, growth, genetics, classification and pathogenesis; virology; principles of infectious disease; host defenses and antimicrobial drugs. Laboratory includes techniques for isolation, cultivation and identification of microbes.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to
1.Describe the evolution of cells and the influences that impact the evolution of microorganisms.
2.Compare and contrast the structure and function of microscopic eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses.
3.Examine metabolic pathways that determine microbial survival and growth and apply that knowledge to controlling the growth of microorganisms.
4.Summarize the process of information flow and regulation in microbial genetics.
5.Explain the ubiquity of microorganisms and their interactions with their environment, particularly human hosts .
6.Discuss the impact of microorganisms on life and human society.This study source was downloaded by 100000838319883 from CourseHero.com on 06-28-2024 13:17:40 GMT -05:00

8.Demonstrate proper techniques and procedures for safely examining and identifying microorganisms.
Course objectives are based on the American Society for Microbiology recommended guidelines. CANVAS
Canvas is the learning management system for LCC. All materials for the course are provided online in Canvas, including the syllabus, weekly schedules, assignments, communication and grades. You may access Canvas at https://lcc.instructure.com
METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
BIOL& 260: Microbiology DE is a completely on-line course including a virtual lab. By registering
for an online course you have indicated that you are computer literate and have access to a computer and internet connection. (NOTE: lab simulations will not run on mobile devices. ) If this is not the case, then you need to withdraw and take this course in a classroom setting.
All activities, assignments, quizzes, exams and interactions between students and the instructor occur in the online environment (although you are welcome to call me or meet with me face-to-
face in my office if the need arises.) There are no required virtual class times, and you may work
on the class at your convenience during the week - but this course is NOT a self-paced class. Under “Modules” you will find all the weekly lessons – which contain your assignments and deadlines.
This DE microbiology course closely parallels the BIOL& 260 on-campus course. Students are required to log-in to the course web site during weekdays for course announcements, inbox postings and to keep up with the course pace.
Assignments will be graded around the time of the due date. If you work ahead, be aware that your assignment may not be graded for a few days. If you submit work past the due date, it may
also take a few days for it to be graded. Thank you for your patience!
COARSE EVALUATION AND REQUIREMENTS
You must make all deadlines and proceed through the course no slower than indicated on the schedule.
Proctored Exams: 315 points
All exams will be taken with an approved test proctor. It is your responsibility to check the hours of operation and schedule your exam accordingly:
oLCC students may take exams in the the test proctoring center (FREE).
oYou may take exams from home 24/7 with a remote proctor, Honorlock, monitoring you via webcam and screen capture. The cost is $11.99 per course, no matter how many exams you take. (You can also pay $6.99 per exam, but per course is the better deal.)
Exams will be objective (multiple choice, true/false, matching) and short essay types of questions. Some questions will come from your lab . Each of these exams is worth 105 points. The final exam is not comprehensive.This study source was downloaded by 100000838319883 from CourseHero.com on 06-28-2024 13:17:40 GMT -05:00
