A. COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis 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.

B. METHOD OF INSTRUCTIONIn 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.

H. GRADING PLANGuaranteed Grades:A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79% D = 60-69% F = below 60%

Grading: 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 will NOT be of equal weight).

(your lecture grade)(.75) + (your lab grade)(.25) = your final numerical grade

Eg: (lecture)(.75) + (lab).25 = 70%(70%)(.75) + (70%)(.25)(66%)(.75) + (82%)(.25)(64%)(.75) + (88%)(.25)(62%)(.75) + (94%)(.25)(60%)(.75) + (100%)(.25)

I. COURSE COMPONENT SPECIFICSLecture Tests (45% of your grade): 20-point tests will be given every day in lecture first thing and are over either when the last person to arrive on-time finishes, or a reasonable time has passed. Bring the standard Scantron 100-point answer sheets Scantron Form 882. You will also need #2 pencils (other numbers of pencil lead are not read correctly by the machine), and a good eraser (the white plastic ones work best). Question formats can include multiple choice, matching and short answer (write the answer to these on the paper provided in the test). Each test will cover the material since the last test. The lowest 2 test scores (not including the Final Exam) will be dropped from your final grade tally. No make-ups.Writing Assignment (5% of your grade) will be one report on a microbe due near the end of the semester. It will require the use of library resource including books and online databases. More details later.Lecture Final Exam (25% of your grade) is cumulative and will contain between 110-120 points; bring one larger Scantron Form #886-E for multiple choice, matching and short answer questions.Lab Scores (25% of your grade): are determined by the lab instructor.

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).

COURSE NUMBER: MICR V01 page 4 of 10COURSE TITLE: GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY

You are responsible for your credit and enrollment status; be aware of Ventura College’s add/drop dates and policies. Note: VCCCD policy states: “When absence from the class exceeds in number 1/9 th 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”: November 22, 2013Note: If you are a pre-Nursing student, realize the following may apply to you:“For successful completion of the (Nursing) program, a minimum grade of C is mandatory in all courses required for the nursing major. These include courses outside the discipline of nursing but required for the major, such as anatomy, microbiology, etc. Although a “C” is acceptable in one of the biological science courses, the overall science GPA must be 2.5 or higher with no more than one withdrawal, D or F in either anatomy, physiology or microbiology. In addition, the student must maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 to be admitted.” (from Nursing Applic.)Extra Credit: there is little to none available (both lecture & lab).

J. CLASSROOM RULES OF CONDUCT (also Appendix 1 of the Ventura College Catalog: Student Conduct Code or go to http://www.venturacollege.edu/honesty/).1) 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, & exams) 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 see your test/exam/quiz; c) passing information in any form during an test/exam/quiz (talking will NOT be tolerated); d) using crib notes or other “aids” during a test/exam/quiz; e) plagiarism = using someone else’s words as your own. This includes copying your assignment from another student or allowing someone else to make a copy of your assignment, 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, 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 into a profession with very high ethical standards, realize that behavior that may have been treated as a minor infraction earlier in school will have increasingly serious consequences if it occurs now or later in your academic or professional career.

2) Disruption/Obstruction of class: None will be tolerated. Telephones, pagers, etc. 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 class if you cannot comport yourself as required. During tests & exams all communication devices will be off the desks (=> not visible at all) and you cannot respond to calls at that time. *If you have an emergency situation, please discuss this with the instructor prior to the test or lecture, or as soon as possible.

3) 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.

K. Some of the On-Campus Student Help: see the online Fall 2013 Schedule of Classes for a complete list. Please make use of these services if needed!1) 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 like this summer so far.2) 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 other counselors (Marian Carrasco Nungaray is in charge 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.)3) Special academic needs: Educational Assistance Center, ATTC for Students with Disabilities: “If you have a documented disability that may require accommodations in this class, please see the EAC (then me) as soon as possible so that your learning needs can be appropriately met.” If you’d like to be assessed for a learning disability, please contact the EAC as soon as possible. 4) Extended Opportunity Programs & Services: has a variety of ways to help economically disadvantaged students.5) The Student Health Center can treat many problems. There are nominal fees for laboratory tests, procedures and medications.

L. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR ACCIDENTS AND ACUTE ILLNESSCampus Emergency Numbers Campus Police Business Office x6486From any pay phone on campus #9 College Nurse x6346 From off-campus phones 289-6486To dial 911 from on-campus 9-911

a) In life-threatening situations, dial 9-911.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 642-7000 (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!
