Details about this class

You are required to have Microbiology with Diseases by Taxonomy (Bauman) as the lecture textbook. You will have the option to purchase the digital version or the hardbound edition of the textbook through the PCC Rock Creek campus bookstore. It will also be acceptable to purchase new or used copies from other sources. If you decide to buy an older edition, fifth or fourth edition would be acceptable. Third edition is probably too old at this point. Be sure you get the version that has “with diseases by taxonomy” in the title. There are other versions which are different and will not work. 

You are also required to have Microbiology Laboratory Theory and Application (Leboffe). The current version is fourth edition. There is an abridged version (PCC customized) available through the Rock Creek bookstore at a lower cost. 

We will be meeting on campus for lecture (10:00 PM - 11:50 PM) and lab (12:30 PM - 1:50 PM) this quarter (Spring 24) on Monday and Wednesdays.

Lecture exams, lab quizzes and the lab practical will be in person, lecture quizzes will be online.
