General Information
Microbiology
is a three-credit semester course that can be used to partially complete the
general education requirements for
Baccalaureate degrees at the University of Minnesota, Crookston.
Selected
Web pages will be used as reading assignments for the course and laboratory
handouts will be provided. All students will purchase Microbiology
Perspectives (Prentice Hall - 1999). This course will discuss microbe
morphology (structure), growth requirements, transmission of microbes, and
control of microbes. Basic lab techniques related to asepsis, culturing
and identification of microbes, economically important microbes, body defenses,
diseases, and food/water/agricultural microbiology will be emphasized.
The
instructor integrating these pages into a semester syllabus intends to:
|
1. Present a course that contains current, accurate, and stimulating reading for microbiology students; |
| 2. Provide a new technological approach to replace the traditional textbook; |
| 3. Encourage student involvement with the Internet sources related to microbiology and; |
|
4. Increase awareness of writing styles and viewpoints of various microbiologists who publish pages on the Internet. |
Special Needs:
Students with any disability, either permanent or temporary, which might affect his/her ability to perform in this course are encouraged to inform the instructor at the beginning of the semester. Tutors or adaptations of methods, materials, or tests may be made available for equitable participation in the course.
Academic Workload:
For undergraduate courses, one credit is defined as equivalent to an average of three hours of learning effort per week (over a full semester) necessary for an average student to achieve an average grade in the course. For example, a student taking a three credit course that meets for three hours a week should expect to spend an additional six hours a week on coursework outside the classroom.
Academic Integrity:
The academic reputation of a college or university is at the heart of who we
are. As such, the ethical conduct of its faculty, staff, and students is
its most prized possession. As a valued member of the University community
of scholars, your academic integrity is vital to the University's academic
reputation.
Academic performance at the University is more than grades. It is about how students earned those grades. The choices students make about their academic responsibilities usually reflect their personal values. The University advances the following five values -- Fairness, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Trust.
Academic dishonesty in any portion of the academic work for a
course shall be grounds for awarding a grade of F or N for the entire course.
