A. Course Description
This course includes lectures and laboratory studies concerning bacteria, fungi, protists, algae and
viruses with emphasis on bacterial morphology, anatomy, staining, classification, metabolism and growth,
and the effects of physical and chemical agents on bacteria. The course includes the principles of disease
transmission, prevention and biotechnology. It serves several different populations including pre-nursing,
biotechnology, and as preparation for graduate professional degrees in physician assistant, physical
therapy, pharmacy, etc.
Disclaimer: This course is NOT the equivalent of a required class for microbiology majors or medical students (MD
or DO), although it may be a useful class in aiding preparation and understanding for those students.
Summer-specific Note: This is an accelerated version of MICR V01 as compared to our normal
semester. Each day the class meets is the equivalent of 1 week of that class (thus 1 week of summer ≅ 3
weeks of regular term).
Recommendation: Do NOT plan on having much time for other activities during the course AND do NOT plan any
absences.
B. Method Of Instruction
In the “lecture” portion of this class, traditional lecture will be the primary mode of instruction.
The lab portion of this class consists mostly of a “hands-on” set of lab exercises (see Schedule). Please see
the Schedule and Grading Plan for a list of reading and other assignments, tests, etc.
C. Student Learning Objectives
1. Student knows and can apply microbiology and immunology terms and concepts to microbiological
problems.
2. Student understands and can compare and contrast taxonomy, biological significance, genetics, and
metabolism of microorganisms
3. Follow laboratory protocols and perform microbiologic lab skills, including microscopy, staining, and
culturing of microorganisms.

COURSE NUMBER: MICR V01
COURSE TITLE: General Microbiology
page 3 of 11
In general, there are NO MAKE-UPS and late assignments will NOT be accepted.
Grades will be assigned based on work performed.
75% of your grade will come from lecture and 25% will be from lab
(actual “points” in the lecture & lab are NOT of equal weight).
(your lecture grade)(.75) + (your lab grade)(.25) = your final numerical grade
Eg:
(lecture)(.75)
(70%)(.75)
(66%)(.75)
(64%)(.75)
(62%)(.75)
(60%)(.75)

(lab).25
(70%)(.25)
(82%)(.25)
(88%)(.25)
(94%)(.25)
(100%)(.25)
= 70% (to pass)
Course Component Specifics
Lecture Tests (50% of your grade): 20-point tests will be given every day in lecture first (after the
first day) and are over either when a) the last person to arrive on-time finishes, or b) a reasonable time has
passed. Question formats can include multiple choice, matching and short answer. Each test will cover the
material since the last test.
Bring Scantron 100-point answer sheets (Scantron Form 882; available at the Bookstore/ LRC
machine/Student Business Office) for the multiple choice and/or matching questions. (Note: you can get 2
tests on each Scantron sheet by using the front for one test and the back for another.) Your replies to the
short answer questions will be written on paper provided in the test.
You will also need #2 or mechanical pencils (other pencil lead and ink are not read correctly by
the machine), and a good eraser (the white plastic ones work best).
The lowest 2 test scores (not including the Final Exam) will be dropped from your final grade tally.
No make-ups. This gives you 2 times you can miss a test at maximum.
Lecture Final Exam (25% of your grade) is cumulative and will contain 120 points; bring a larger
Scantron Form 886 for this exam.
Total Lecture Point levels to achieve:
Total points possible: 400 points (with 14 daily Tests counting and Final Exam)
A level: 360 or more
B level: 320-359
C level: 280-319
{To figure out your “current grade” in lecture at any time,
divide the number of current earned lecture points, eg: Test 1: 16 points + Test 2: 17 points = 33 points
by the total number of current possible points, eg:
20 points +
20 points = 40 points
Example Grade: 0.825 = 82.5%}
Lab Scores (25% of your grade) are determined by the lab instructor.
Extra Credit: there is little to none available (both lecture & lab).
Attendance/Participation: Even though there are no direct points given for this, this can affect your
ultimate grade. If you are tardy or leave early you will lose points on tests, and you may miss valuable
information/announcements. Expect to be present in class the entire time listed (lecture & labs).
You are responsible for your credit and enrollment status; be aware of Ventura College’s add/drop dates
and policies.
Note: VC Catalog states: “When absence from the class exceeds in number 1/9th of the total class contact
hours for the session, the instructor may recommend to the Registrar that such student be dropped from the
class and a grade recorded in accordance with withdrawal from class policy as stated in (the) Catalog.
Classes missed because of late registration are counted toward the number of absences.”
Last Day to Withdraw with a “W”: July 16, 2014

I. Classroom Rules Of Conduct (also Appendix 1 of the Ventura College Catalog: Student
Conduct Code or go to http://www.venturacollege.edu/honesty/).
Academic Dishonesty (a.k.a. Cheating): This can take a variety of forms. In Academia in general, at
Ventura College, and especially in this class, it will NOT be tolerated. All work you submit for grading
(assignments, papers, & tests) must be your own work. In this course you are being graded as an individual
and your work must reflect that.
Dishonest behavior includes:
a) looking at another’s test/exam/quiz;
b) allowing someone else to see your test/exam/quiz;
c) passing information in any form during an test/exam/quiz (talking will NOT be tolerated);
d) using unauthorized crib notes or other “aids” during a test/exam/quiz;
e) plagiarism = using someone else’s words as your own.
This includes copying an assignment from another student or allowing someone else to make a copy of
your assignment, copying and pasting information from the Internet without correct attribution, and
paraphrasing which means using the same words/phrases as the original author, even if they are rearranged.
At the least, the first time academic dishonesty becomes an issue, during a test you may be moved
and you will receive a ZERO GRADE for the assignment. If the incident is outrageous or a second
offense, sterner measures will be taken.
A Word to the Wise:
Since you have chosen to continue in academia and (probably) into a profession with very high ethical
standards, realize that behavior that may have been treated as a minor infraction earlier in K-12 school will
have increasingly serious consequences if it occurs now or later in your academic or professional career (all
the way to the loss of the degree and/or profession).
Disruption/Obstruction of class: None will be tolerated.
All communication and computational devices must be turned audibly OFF during classroom
time, and any disruptive behavior (this includes talking out of turn or answering a text message) will get
you excluded from class. Please leave the room if you must take a message and/or cannot comport yourself
as required during the lesson. Otherwise, the class will be getting an occasional break and that is when you
can take time to check messages, etc.
During tests & exams all communication devices will be out of sight and you cannot respond to
calls at that time. If you have an emergency situation, please discuss this with the instructor before the test
or lecture, or as soon as possible.
Lab Safety: As this class has a laboratory component, there is a required introduction to lab safety. No
student will be allowed to participate in lab until this instruction has taken place.
J. Some of the On-Campus Student Help: see the online Summer 2014 schedule of classes
for a complete list. Please make use of these services if needed!
Tutoring Center: offers free tutoring in most academic subjects including biology, chemistry, math, etc. as well as
help with general study skills.
{Incidentally, if you are doing well in his or any other class & are willing to help others (& get paid for it), PLEASE
consider signing up as a tutor!}
Note: Qualified tutors are very difficult to find for this class; often there are NONE available for Microbiology.
Counseling & Career Centers: Counselors can help to define your educational goals & the path to achieve
them.
For nursing (LVN, & RN), talk to Bea Herrera or Angelica Gonzalez.
For 4-year (i.e., transfer) majors (including BSN programs) there are additional counselors (eg: Marian Carrasco
Nungaray, head of the Transfer Center). To do your own research for how VC’s programs and classes match up
with your target institution(s), California public colleges & universities only, go to: www.assist.org.

(Note: Please realize that I and your other professors can answer some questions about transfer & careers. We’ve
been to some of the schools & know about careers in our majors.)
Special academic needs: Disabled Students Programs and Services/Educational Assistance
Center (DSPS/EAC):
If you have a documented disability that may require accommodations in this class, please see the DSPS/EAC (then
me) as soon as possible so that your learning needs can be appropriately met.
Extended Opportunity Programs & Services: helps economically disadvantaged students.
Student Health Center can treat many problems. There are nominal fees for laboratory tests, procedures
(including vaccinations) and medications, and a variety of medical practitioners attend SHC patients.
K. Emergency Procedures For Accidents And Acute Illness
College Nurse
289-6346
Campus Police
289-6486
a) In life-threatening situations, dial 911.
Give the nature and exact location of the accident or medical emergency!
DO NOT MOVE THE VICTIM, unless to prevent further injury.
b) For non-life-threatening situations, contact the Student Health Center (x6346).
A nurse is on duty during daytime hours and limited evening hours. When the nurse is not available or the
Student Health Center is closed, call 289-6486; First Aid is available from Campus Police when the Student Health
Center is closed.
Please report ALL student college-related injuries, as soon as possible to the Student Health Center. The
instructor or person in charge shall make a written report of the injury. Accident report forms are available at the
Student Health Center, the Evening Dean's office, or from Campus Police. Accident reports are essential to process
Insurance Claims; both are processed through the Student Health Center. Once an accident report is received that
requires an Insurance Claim, the student will be given information about the college's insurance coverage and the
billing procedures.
An injury resulting from an illness is NOT covered by the college insurance, but it still needs to be reported
to the Student Health Center! Ventura College insurance coverage for college-related injuries is limited, and it does
not guarantee payment in full!
