Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:

• Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
• Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
• Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
• Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)

If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.

BIO 208: Microbiology

3 credits

Examine the nature of bacterial infections and diseases they cause. Study cell regulation, the chemistry of metabolic processes in bacteria, and the mechanisms of antimicrobial drugs. Lecture and laboratory. (Distribution Reqs:Natural Sciences)

Learning Goals

COURSE LEARNING GOALS:The study of microbiology is aimed at understanding the fundamental role that microorganisms play in human life. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:1. Outline the function and composition of cells, by recognizing and drawing key structural components2. List the major macromolecules by defining their units and specific terminology3. Demonstrate knowledge of basic physical and chemical characteristics among bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses by comparing and contrasting them4. Identify shapes and names of bacteria, by utilizing and understanding various microscopic staining techniques5. Describe the major metabolic pathways in prokaryotes by stating molecules and energy involved in reactions, and site where they occur6. Explain main principles of how medications work to combat infection7. Recite specific examples of bacteria and their role in pathogenesis, by recognizing the diseases they cause
