BIOL311L

Microbiology lab is designed to complement the Microbiology lecture course. For most labs, you will work with a partner or with your bench partners in a cooperative effort to reach your common learning goals. In the beginning of the course, you will complete a series of laboratory exercises that will teach you valuable skills and techniques in general and diagnostic microbiology as well epidemiology, including how to handle, culture, and identify microbes. Towards the end of the lab, you and your partner will design, execute and report on (written and oral) an experimental lab to answer a specific microbiological question.
