Welcome to Lab Applications of Microbiology!

Lab Applications of Microbiology is an introduction to common laboratory techniques and methods used in microbiology. The class time will generally be used for running wet labs, and most of the background will be available in the accompanying texts and online. Students are expected to complete the reading and assignments BEFORE the lab experiment begins.

In each experiment section, you will find:

- PowerPoint slides and assigned textbook reading - these provide context for the lab you are running, information about food analysis in industry practice, and an opportunity to learn more.
- Assignments –typically include may include textbook study questions, practice problems, or handouts meant to get you familiar with subjects outside the text.
- Quizzes – to measure your progress along the course objectives.
- Notebook and Lab Reports – describing the work you do in the lab and what is learned from it.

Please take some time to look through all of the course material, and familiarize yourself with the BlackBoard content, before you begin the first day of class.

When you are ready to begin, find Experiment 1 under 'Course Content'. Start with the 'Objectives, Assignments, and Assessments' for Experiment 1, and complete the assignments that go with it.
