Upon successful completion of the learning experience, students will be able to: explain the general overview of microbiology; define microbiology and microorganisms; recognize historical scientist and their contributions; identify culture media and bacterial growth in a laboratory setting; describe the structure of prokaryotic cells: the bacteria and archaea; discuss the evolutionary history of eukaryotic cells; compare and contrast the main difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, describe the unique characteristics of viruses and the importance of how viruses impact human health; distinguish the difference between organisms as they relate to human disease and treatments; use scientific and qualitative reasoning to confirm and/or argue laboratory exercise results; explain basic microscopic and proper lab procedures; critically analyze laboratory experiments and correlate the results with the lecture component of the course such as the shapes of bacteria, gram stain, results, and the spread of disease through the epidemic simulation exercise.
Major topics include: use of the microscope; lab sessions inclusive of gram staining; ELISA lab; instructional mode is inclusive of lecture, lab, distribution of handouts and PowerPoint presentations, exams of theoretical knowledge and exams on laboratory practical activities; textbook assignments; and diagram identification.
In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 4 semester hours in Microbiology (5/22). NOTE: NOTE: This course was previously evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE). To view credit recommendations previously established by ACE, visit the ACE National Guide
24 hours (12 Weeks)
September 2020 – Present
Upon successful completion of the learning experience, students will be able to: identify anatomy and electrophysiology of the heart and measure the components of the normal adult ECG (electro cardiogram); recognize and diagnose a trial and ventricular dysrhythmias; recognize and diagnose junctional and atrioventricular heart blocks; diagnose myocardial ischemia and infarction, hypertrophy, bundle branch blocks and pre-excitation; calculate electrical axis; prepare and instruct the patient for Holter monitoring and exercise tolerance testing; and recognize pacemaker electrocardiograms and changes in the electrocardiogram due to drug effects and toxicity.
Lecture; group discussions; demonstrations utilizing the heartworks simulator; internet references; critical thinking exercises; exams; lab quizzes; American Medical Certification Association exam; measuring and identifying rhythm strips with cardiac pathology.
In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 2 semester hours in Electrophysiology (5/22). NOTE: This course was previously evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE). To view credit recommendations previously established, visit the ACE National Guide.
