If you did well in Biology or life science in high school you should be find in Microbiology. Micro focuses on different bacteria and viruses that effect humans. It's usually specific for nursing majors if it doesn't rescuers a Bio prerequisite.
Check the course description and post it. This is an example. This course is designed to meet the requirements of students interested in careers in allied health and nursing. Microbiology for Nurses is a one-semester course that emphasizes the interaction of microorganisms with humans and the diseases they cause. This will enable nursing and allied health students to understand disease-causing representatives of different groups of microorganisms and how these are transmitted and controlled.
They also learn how to avoid the spread of infectious microorganisms in the hospital environment. Chemistry is also dependent on formulas, simple algebra and minor calculations. All things that make it more math-heavy than microbiology. Especially as they see how much memorisation is involved! This is because a lot of concepts from the subject are constantly revised when you take pathology and pharmacology assuming you might be on a nursing or medical course.
Most exam questions in microbiology are based on the intricacies of particular organisms. Biochemistry is also more mainstream too; having found a place in daily discussions around diet and nutrition.
My feeling here is no, microbiology is not more difficult than anatomy and physiology. In fact, it probably has less material to study from and synthesise. Contrary to my opinion here though, it could be argued that anatomy and physiology is much easier to visualise than microbiology.
After all, you have a body that you can see and use on a daily basis. This also makes it a lot more convenient to use as a study aid — based on your familiarity with it! Some students have been able to take Microbiology through cross enrollment at Chico state.
Cross enrollment is a program that allows you to take a Chico state course at Butte College prices. However there is only a limited number of spots for this option. Here are the requirements for cross enrollment at Chico state. The other local option is to take Microbiology at Chico state through Open University. The drawback of this is that it is far more expensive, over dollars.
Here is more information on Open University at Chico State. However, since Continuing Students enroll prior to the end of the term, we want them to have the ability to enroll in the next level course e.
The registration system does allow students to enroll in a course for which they are currently enrolled in the prerequisite. At the conclusion of the term when grades are posted, if a student did not earn a C or better in the prerequisite course they will be dropped from Microbiology.
Additionally, a student could enroll in a summer course e. The same "registration rules" apply for students who are enrolling in a course and for those who waitlist because we are making the assumption that anyone who can waitlist could be moved into the course as space becomes available.
So, a student who has not completed or who is not currently enrolled in the prerequisite, will not be allowed to register or waitlist for the class.
There are sometimes a lot of enrolled students dropping from the course between registration week and the start of the course. It is currently ranging from students per section.
So you might get into the course a month after you waitlist but well before the start of the course. Be checking your Butte College email to make sure you do not miss this opportunity. You will have 7 days to pay if this happens to you. On day one Monday in lab if there are any spaces available they will first be filled from the master waitlist. Master waitlist students need to be present to enroll in the class in this way. If there are still spots available after the master waitlist students are exhausted then we will fill from the section waitlist.
There are typically spaces available to be filled in each section and very few master and section waitlist students who actually show up. Unless you can strongly recall knowledge from high school science class I'd just go ahead and take it.
Depends on the student. I did because I needed a refresher course before getting into my other bios, and still feel that way semesters later, but some students who have had bio classes before probably don't need it. Also depends on the placement tests. I thought it was really helpful. Has 5 years experience.
