Course Description (August
1, 2020) The
following description of BIOL 3702 is taken from the YSU eBulletin: Fundamentals of the
biology of microbes. The principles of microbial structure, function,
reproduction, metabolism, genetics, phylogeny, host-parasite relationships,
and immunity. Fundamental technical skills acquired through laboratory
experiences. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prereq.:
BIOL 2601 and concurrent enrollment in BIOL 3702L. 4 s.h. The
course description for BIOL 3702H is essentially identical except that
registration requires both instructor permission and concurrent enrollment in
a specially designed laboratory section in place of the traditional
laboratory experience. There is an
application process used to select students for this limited enrolment course
(the deadline is early in the Spring semester). As
designed, BIOL 3702 and BIOL 3702H provide a mixed lecture/laboratory
educational experience focused upon the rudimentary concepts of microbiology
as well as their practical application.
BIOL 3702 and BIOL 3702H not only prepare students for more advanced
courses in the microbiological sciences, but also provide knowledge essential
to many diverse careers in biology, e.g., biotechnology, biomedical research,
etc. These courses also serve students
desiring a career in medicine, dentistry, podiatry, etc. Students
enrolled in BIOL 3702 must concurrently enroll in a laboratory
section, BIOL 3702L. The laboratory component of this BIOL 3702
is an integral part of Microbiology.
There are no exceptions to enrolling in BIOL 3702L. For individuals repeating BIOL 3702 there may be some consideration for
laboratory work previously accomplished.
Such persons must contact Dr. Cooper for such consideration before the
second laboratory session. Also, there
is a fee for BIOL 3702L which helps defray the costs of materials used in the
laboratory. Students enrolled in BIOL 3702H must concurrently
enroll in the specially-designed
laboratory section. This
laboratory component of BIOL 3702H is an essential and distinguishing feature
of this honors course. There is a fee
for this laboratory experience which helps defray the costs of materials
used. Please
report any “broken” links to Dr.
