Microbiology Virtual Classroom

This is the home page for supplemental material that I provide to students taking my Microbiology for Health Science (HCR 120) course.

You don't need to be enrolled in this class to access the materials here. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in microbiology may find this material useful and is welcome to use it.

You will need to do a little link-clicking to navigate the site and get to the specific material that you are seeking, but I have tried to make the process easy and intuitive.

There are two main sections to this online microbiology resource:

1. Virtual Microbiology Class Lectures

Click here to access the microbiology lecture main page. The main lecture page features links to each lecture topic. Each topic provides numerous resources designed to make learning microbiology a painless experience, including:

  • A list of learning objectives
  • Review questions
  • Practice test questions
  • Practice exercises and assignments
  • Animations and movies
  • Power Point Lectures
  • Additional articles to support lecture material
