Office Hours: I’m usually around before class, after class, and on most Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Prerequisite: Students enrolled in BIO 205 should have successfully completed at least one college-level biology class, such as BIO-151 (General Biology I) or BIO-171 (Anatomy & Physiology I). Familiarity with basic biology and chemistry is expected. You should have some understanding of cells, acids and bases, biological molecules such as sugars, lipids (fats), amino acids, and nucleotides, biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and complex carbohydrates, and the structure and function of biological membranes.

Course Text: Microbiology: Principles and Explorations, 8th or 7th edition, by J. Black. Copies of earlier editions also may be used; page numbers for 6th, 5th, and 4th editions are available for many of the reading assignments. Purchase of the course text is strongly recommended. Alternatively, copies of the text are on reserve in Coulter Library. You will find it helpful to read parts of the text prior to class. Most students find it helpful to also review the text after class. While much (but not all) exam material will be based on material covered in class, it will not be possible to fully cover the subject matter in class. Some exam questions may be taken from textbook material. If you already have access to a different Microbiology text by a different author, it’s probably fine to use that book instead. Check with the reserve copy in the library to ensure that you are reading equivalent sections.

How to save a lot of money on books Want to find books for four or five times less than the bookstore charges? Want to save $100 or more on your books for this class alone? Find used older editions online. Three websites to check are: http://www.abebooks.com and http://www.amazon.com and http://www.half.com. This works best BEFORE the semester starts, but you might still save a bunch of money even with express shipping.

Other Supplies you’ll need for this class Taking good notes is essential, because the tests are mostly based on what we cover in class. You’ll need a notebook. The advantage of a spiral notebook is that the pages stay in order and in place. Some students find it useful to have a four-color pen for note-taking, because some of the diagrams I draw on the board are in color. Some students find it useful to record the lectures, and I encourage you to consider this – see below.

Recording Lectures and Taking Notes It is important to take good notes that comprehensively cover the material presented in class, including material written on the blackboard, material projected on the overhead screen, and material that is discussed. If your note-taking isn’t fast and complete enough, you have several options: (1) ask me to slow down or repeat a missed concept; (2) attend a note-taking workshop at the Study Skills Center (Mawhinney Hall); and (3) record lectures. Recording lectures is permitted and encouraged! Inexpensive voice recorders are available at many stores that sell small electronics, and also at the OCC bookstore. It’s also okay to use your phone.

Page 2: 205.13sum.LectSyllabus

The most effective way to use recorded lectures is to sit down with your class notes and listen to the recorded lecture as soon as possible after class. Add any information to your notes that you missed in class.

ANGEL Web Site This section of BIO-205 has a course web site, part of OCC’s ANGEL system. Log in using the same network ID (username) and password that you use to log in to campus computers and to register for classes. You can use the ANGEL site to:

• Look over lecture Powerpoints while you are reviewing your notes; • Take Quizzes for the lecture part of the class; • Find class documents (such as sample exams, study questions, and answer keys); • Post questions to a Bulletin Board and read the answers to other questions; • Find a study partner; • Send and receive e-mail; • Find links to exciting web sites related to the course, submit your own favorites; and • Check on your grades for course assignments, and your cumulative overall grade in the course.

Access ANGEL at http://sunyocc.sln.suny.edu. All OCC students have a network ID and password. If you don’t know yours, you can call the HELPDESK for help at 498-2999, email [email protected], or visit the Academic Computing Center.

Additional Optional Study Aids Use of supplementary study aids is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL. The text comes with a “student companion” web site (click on the link in ANGEL). The web site has links to other helpful sites, and some study aids for each chapter. In addition, there are an enormous number of useful microbiology-related web sites, including E-Tutor, created specifically for OCC Biology students (http://myhome.sunyocc.edu/~weiskirl). There is also a Microbiology Coloring Book (Alcamo and Elson; Harper Collins; ISBN # 0-06-041925-3) that the bookstore can order for you, available to look at in my office. I also have a variety of other Microbiology textbooks and related materials in my office. If you are interested in borrowing any of these, please contact me.

Attendance and Participation Policy Lecture attendance is mandatory. Lecture material may include information not contained in the text. It will not be possible to "make up" missed lectures. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of class. Points may be deducted from the final grade for each unexcused absence. Participation in the class is also expected. "Participation" is your involvement in the learning process during class. The most obvious way to participate is to ask questions and contribute to classroom discussion. Active listening and note-taking are also an important form of class participation. Points may be added to your final score for participation.

Classroom Etiquette Your conduct in the classroom affects other students around you. Distractive activities like chatting and texting make it harder for others to learn. Laptops or phones should be used in class ONLY for note-taking or to access material related to the topic being discussed. Phones should never be used for texting or to take calls during class at any time, except under extraordinary circumstances. Arriving to class late, leaving early, and stepping out of class for a few minutes are also disruptions that should be avoided as much as possible. Everyone errs occasionally, but students who frequently violate classroom etiquette will lose participation points. In accordance with College policies, disruptive conduct can also result in removal from the course.

Exams and Quizzes There will be four exams, all of which will be "cumulative" in the sense that we will be building an understanding of microbes and their interaction with us, and concepts learned in earlier units will be relevant for later parts of the course. Exams may include a combination of multiple choice, true/false, matching, fill-in-the-

Page 3: 205.13sum.LectSyllabus

blank, and short essay. Exams will cover all material from the lecture part of the class, including topics covered in class, review sheets for quizzes, and other assigned reading. Exams must be taken at the scheduled date and time; make-up exams will not be allowed except under extraordinary circumstances, at the discretion of the instructor. Exams are in-class, closed-book, closed notes. Exam dates will not change (unless campus closes); the day and time of Exam 4 is tentative. Exams account for the majority of points for the course grade (75%). To do well in this class, you must do well on the exams. Bad scores will NOT be “dropped,” and “Re-takes” (taking the same test a second time) are not permitted. “Extra Credit” projects will not be given to offset poor grades on exams. There also will be 10 “online” take-home quizzes. These can be submitted as hard copies rather than online. Some of the take-home quizzes will be on material previously covered in class; other take-home quizzes will be on material you review outside of class (for the latter, review sheets will be provided). The take-home quizzes will also introduce you to the format and style of the questions that will be on the exams. Exam dates will not change, but all quiz dates are tentative. Quizzes will be due at the start of class. Quizzes will be available in ANGEL until 9:25 a.m. on the day they are due (five minutes before class starts).

Grading The final course grade will be derived from the lecture grade (approximately 70%) plus the laboratory grade (approximately 30%). The lecture grade will be determined by four exams and 14 on-line quizzes. There will NOT be a comprehensive final exam per se, but be aware that some material from earlier sections of the course may reappear in later sections, when applicable. Approximate point distributions for the lecture grade (1000 total points possible):

Note on math conversions: The points available on exams usually don’t add up to the totals listed below. Here’s how to do the conversion: Take your score and divide by the number of possible points on the test, then multiply by the number of points listed below. For example, if your score on Exam 1 is 82 out of 98, then divide 82 by 98 and multiply by 150.

Study Tips: How to do well in Microbiology

Microbiology is an intense, advanced-level course for most students. We will cover a great deal of material. If you feel “lost” or are falling behind, you should see me as soon as possible. The Study Skills Center offers workshops on time management, text reading, test preparation, and other study skills. The Content Tutoring Center can provide tutoring. The first step is to talk with the course instructor! To get the most out of this class, consider the following recommendations for studying:

1. Attendance is important. If you miss a lecture, your grade will suffer directly, because attendance and participation affect the lecture grades. In addition, you will have a harder time understanding the material, and will have trouble on exams.

Page 4: 205.13sum.LectSyllabus

2. Take excellent notes. This means MORE than just copying down what is written on the blackboard. Listen carefully, because details left off the board are often also important. Try to capture all of these in your notes. It’s fine to record the lectures to fill in detail later, if you want. Try to record the diagrams drawn on the board and figures from the text, too.

3. To get the most out of lectures, look over the material to be covered before class. This will make the lectures more understandable, and if there were sections of the text that were confusing, you can ask questions in class.

4. Different study techniques work best for different people. You may need to experiment a little to find the best approach for you. I strongly recommend going back over your lecture notes and the text as soon as possible after each class – preferably the same day. At this time, also review the study questions at the beginning of the chapter and on the text web site, and check out the terminology list in the text. Make sure that any concepts covered make sense to you, if you haven’t already done so in class. Some students find it helpful to make flashcards of terms and definitions or notecards on which individual concepts are explained You may also find it helpful to make a study guide for yourself: go back over your class notes and fill in any missing or unclear details from the text. You might find it helpful to re-organize and copy this information, perhaps adding diagrams or illustrations. It is more effective to do these things soon after each class, the information will be "fresher." Review this material frequently - every day, if possible, even if for only a few minutes.

5. While reviewing the material, think about it: if something didn’t make sense, go over the corresponding part of the text especially thoroughly. If you have questions, the best time to ask is at the next class period. Chances are, others were also confused about the same point.

6. If you are unable to get clarification in class, feel free to contact me out of class. My room number, email address, and office phone number are listed on the first page of this syllabus. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

7. Sometimes, it is helpful to hear material explained by another student. You can arrange for tutoring through the Content Tutoring Center, C-372 (third floor of the Library Building); 498-2573. NO faculty referral required!

8. After you’ve studied your notes and text, you might find it helpful to study with other students in the class. One way to find study partners in the class is to go to the ANGEL website and browse the STUDY PARTNER FINDER bulletin board (found in CLASS FILES and in IN TOUCH). If no one has listed a time that works for you, list the times YOU are free and invite others to study with you.

9. Review sessions are held during class before each exam. The point of these sessions is to discuss areas that YOU are having problems with. Review the material completely BEFORE these sessions, and know what questions you want answered.

10. Don’t plan on studying by trying to cram in all of the information the night before the exam. Keeping up with the material will require an ongoing effort. Expect to spend at least five or six hours studying Microbiology every week, IN ADDITION to the time you spend reviewing for exams and preparing for lab. This may sound like a lot, but if you conscientiously read the text, study your notes, and review material with your study partners, you will find it easy to spend this much time. Plan accordingly! You may need to adjust your work schedule or extracurricular activities.

11. If you are forced to miss class, try to obtain notes and handouts from a classmate (you can contact classmates through ANGEL). Copies of handouts are also available from the instructor or from the ANGEL site.

Test-Taking Tips: How to do well on Exams and Quizzes The format of quizzes and the lab final will include a mixture of short answer (multiple choice, true/false, matching, and fill-in-the-blank) and short essay (questions that ask you to describe, diagram, compare and contrast, or problem-solve). You are probably familiar with these types of exam question format already. Here are a few tips to help you improve your exam performance:

1. For multiple-choice questions, “all of the above” and/or “none of the above” are sometimes the correct answer. If the first option on a question seems right, be sure that other answers are not also correct. If most or all of the choices seem correct, then “all of the above” is probably the correct answer.

2. For all short answer questions, you should always choose (or provide) the best possible answer. If more than one choice on a multiple choice seems correct, but the answer is NOT “all of the above,” then try to choose the answer that is BEST.

3. For true/false questions, keep in mind that for the answer to be true, the ENTIRE statement must be true. If PART of the true/false statement is incorrect, then the statement is false.

4. For short essay questions, it is important to READ the question carefully. It is easy to skim over the question too quickly and accidentally make an incorrect assumption about what the question is asking. Also, many questions consist of several parts (define this, compare it to that, and discuss the benefits of each). It is important to answer each PART of the question.

5. It is always a good idea to ask for clarification if you are unsure about something.

Page 5: 205.13sum.LectSyllabus

6. After you finish the exam, but before you hand it in, check your work. It isn’t necessarily a good idea to second-guess yourself on every question - many students change correct answers into incorrect answers. But be sure that you answered every question.

Course Objectives The purpose of the lecture part of this course is to introduce you to the principles of microbiology, with an emphasis on the role of microorganisms in health and disease. In particular, you will learn about:

1. The history, significance, and scope of microbiology - • The significance of microorganisms and their roles in the environment and in human society. • The history of microbiology and infectious disease - what the world was like 150 years ago, before the

recognition of the role of microorganisms in the disease process. 2. The biology of prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, and viruses -

• The structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and the relation of these structures to identification of microorganisms and the mechanism of disease.

• Microbial nutrition - the pathways used to acquire energy and nutrients, and to synthesize biological molecules. • The flow of information within cells - how cells regulate their activities. The synthesis of macromolecules

(DNA, RNA, and protein) and the regulation of gene expression and protein function will be covered. • The genetic diversity of populations that results from mutation and gene transfer mechanisms (such as

conjugation, transformation, and transduction), and the way populations change over time in response to changing environmental conditions (evolution);

• Bacterial growth rates, and environmental (physical and chemical) factors that limit the growth of bacteria. • The structure, function, properties, and lifestyles of viruses, as well as other subcellular infectious agents

(viroids and prions). • The major characteristic of eukaryotic pathogens, including fungi and protozoa.

3. The interactions that occur between microorganisms and humans - • The kinds of symbiosis - commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism; normal microbiota and disease. • Epidemiology: Diseases that occur in populations; identification of the source of a disease outbreak,

mechanisms of disease transmission, and the ability of herd immunity to prevent the spread of disease. • The kinds of infectious disease, and the microorganisms responsible. Diseases of the skin, eyes, urogenital

system, respiratory system, mouth and gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, nervous system, systemic diseases, diseases caused by wounds and bites, and nosocomial infections.

4. Control of infection and disease - • Treatment of infectious disease: the classes and mechanism of action of major antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal,

and antiprotozoan drugs, as well as the basis for their selective toxicity for disease-causing microorganisms. • Prevention of infectious disease by killing or removing disease-causing organisms: physical and chemical

techniques for disinfection and sterilization. • The role of the immune system in prevention of disease or control and eradication of infection; importance of

innate and acquired immunity, including humoral and cellular mediators and their mechanisms of action; inflammation; and phagocytosis.

Academic Integrity Briefly, academic integrity means that when you hand in a written project or exam, the work should be your own (or, if it is a group project, the work should be the work done by the members of the group). You are expected to adhere to principles of academic integrity. It is your responsibility to understand academic integrity and recognize inappropriate conduct. Examples of academic dishonesty include cheating on exams or quizzes, facilitating the cheating of others, and plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of any sequence of words taken from another source without attribution. This means that if you use information from some source, such as a textbook, lab manual, newspaper or magazine article, or a web page, then you must indicate the source of the information by appropriately citing the source. If you use a sequence of words taken verbatim from another source, this direct quote must be enclosed in quotation marks, and the source must be appropriately referenced. This is true even if the sequence of words is less than an entire sentence. When writing a paper or lab report, you generally must cite the source of information even if you paraphrased or reworded the information. If you have ANY questions about proper academic conduct, please contact me to clarify.

Page 6: 205.13sum.LectSyllabus

For additional information on Academic Integrity policies, please read section IV of the College’s Academic Rules. The Academic Rules can be found in the Student Handbook or the College Catalog. To download a copy of the Academic Rules, go to < http://students.sunyocc.edu/academics.aspx > and click on the Academic Rules link. Be aware that if you are caught cheating or plagiarizing in this class, you will receive a failing grade (F) on that assignment, exam, or quiz, and may receive a failing grade for the course. In addition, a description of the incident will be filed in the Provost’s office.

Students with Special Needs Students with documented disabilities are entitled to additional services and supports. If you require special accommodations for this class, visit the Disability Services Office (DSO) in the Gordon Student Center, room G-130, or call 498-2245. In addition, please feel free to see me at any time to discuss your individual situation.

Students Repeating this Class There are two common mistakes often made by students who repeat a class. First of all, be aware that at OCC, the LAST grade you earn is the ONLY one that is counted for GPA. In other words, if you earned a “C-” the first time you took Micro, and you earn an “F” the second time, it is the “F” that will count. Secondly, if you are repeating the class, DON’T assume that it will be easier the second time around. Many students frequently skip class and assignments when they repeat a class, figuring that they already know the material from last time. Don’t make this mistake. If you knew the material already, you wouldn’t be repeating the class!!!

Course Schedule Please note that this is a TENTATIVE course schedule. If we fall behind, the schedule of Topics may be delayed, rearranged, or abridged. EXAM dates will NOT be altered, except in the event of school closings on exam or review days. If class is canceled on a scheduled Exam day, the exam will be postponed until the next class meeting. If class is canceled on a Review day, the next class meeting will be a Review day, and the exam will be given the following class meeting. Check ANGEL for updated information.
