One unit. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory weekly. A course designed to familiarize students with fundamental biological principles emphasizing DNA replication, transcription, translation, control of gene expression, and genomics. Gametogenesis, fertilization, early embryonic development, sex, and reproduction are considered in light of the molecular mechanisms involved. Laboratory experiments give students hands-on experience with various aspects of molecular biology and development. Cross-listed w/BI 219. This course is not recommended for non-science majors. Prerequisite: MI 200. Offered fall and spring semesters.

3.00 Credits
One unit. Three hours of lecture and one hour of recitation weekly. This course provides an introduction to hypothesis testing, experimental design, and the statistical treatment of biological information. Fundamental aspects of data analysis are presented, including parametric and nonparametric testing procedures commonly used in biological research. Cross-listed w/BI 221. Prerequisites: Completion of any mathematics defi ciencies; One unit of Biology or Microbiology and sophomore standing or permission of the instructor. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
1.00 Credits
One unit. Weekly lecture(s). Discussion and analysis of problems in microbiology which are not covered in regular course work. The specifi c content of the course will remain fl exible in response to student and departmental interest. Special topics may be taken more than once with differing subject matters. Offered periodically; consult department chair.

1.00 Credits
One unit. Standard methods for the bacteriological examinations of blood, urine, sputum, spinal fl uid, and other body secretions and excretions. Prerequisite: MI 200. Offered spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
0.00 Credits
One or zero units. Research or teaching experience for at least 105 hours in a research, clinical, industrial, or teaching setting where there is supervised, hands-on involvement in daily activities. The student will maintain a log describing day-to-day activities and the times and hours worked. A fi nal paper in which the student evaluates the work experience is required. Other possible requirements will be determined by the faculty member overseeing the student's progress. The student's on-sitesupervisor will complete a written evaluation of the student's performance and submit it to the faculty supervisor. Students registered for this course as MI 397G will receive a letter grade; those registered as MI 397P will be taking the course on a pass/fail basis; those registered as MI 397N will be taking the course for no credit ( registration fee required). This course cannot be used to meet requirements for the senior Refl ective Tutorial in Microbiology (MI 400) nor does it count towards completion of the requirements for the microbiology major. Interested students should contact the Center for Academic and Career Development. Prerequisites: MI 200 and permission of department chair. Offered as needed.
-
1.00 Credits
One unit. This course is linked to a completed research or internship experience which includes at least 120 hours of research or internship. The course must be taken during the senior year, as part of the senior learning community by all Microbiology majors. In this course the student who has completed an internship prepares a review paper on a topic related to the internship experience, while the student who has completed independent research analyses his/her own data and completes an original research paper. Writing will follow standard scientifi c journal formats. Each student is required to successfully defend his/her paper before a senior review committee. All students are also expected to present their fi ndings publicly in oral or poster form using venues that are deemed appropriate by the instructor. Cross-listed w/BI 400. Prerequisite: Completion of research or the internship (MI 400E), as determined by the chair of the student's senior review committee, is required prior to the beginning of this course. Offered fall and spring semester.
-
0.00 Credits
Zero units. This zero-unit course is the experiential component of the senior learning community and is linked to refl ective tutorial in microbiology (MI 400). It includes at least 120 hours of research or internship. The research or internship experience must be completed prior to Microbiology 400, as determined by the chair of the student's senior review committee. This experiential component serves as the basis for the review paper or research paper completed in MI 400. Permission of Departmental Senior Refl ective Tutorial Coordinator required. Offered fall, spring, and summer.
-
3.00 Credits
One unit. Three hours of lecture weekly. This course addresses recent advances in research and concepts within the following microbiological disciplines: molecular cell biology, microbial physiology, microbial genetics, environmental microbiology, clinical microbiology, immunology, virology, and applied microbiology. Specifi c lectures are provided by faculty. Each student actively participates by preparing and presenting lectures in all fi elds. This course is part of the senior learning community in microbiology and is normally taken during the senior year. Prerequisites: MI 200, 219, 221, 314, 512, 521, 522, and 525. Offered spring semester.
-
8.00 Credits
One unit. Independent but supervised research experience averaging at least eight hours per week on a topic such as bacteriology, microbiology, virology, serology, hematology, molecular biology, or parasitology, culminating in a research paper using format of any preferred scientifi c journal in biology. A minimum of 10 references to the selected topic are required. Students taking this course for credit may not use the research experience to meet requirements for the senior refl ective tutorial. May be taken once. Prerequisites: Four units of Microbiology including MI 221; permission of the department chair. Offered as fall and spring semesters.
