Microbiology Unit 20 Lab Report
Microbiology 20 Laboratory Final Exam Guidelines
The laboratory exam will be given on Tuesday December 4th (sections 0375 and 3252) or
Thursday December 6th (section 3253) and consist of an open book portion given in CMS 105 followed by a practical portion (closed book) to be given in the lab (CMS 002). You will not need a Scantron.
For the open book test, be sure to bring any resources you may need including your lab manual, lab notebook, safety guidelines and handouts. For the practical portion there will be 28 stations set up in the laboratory with something to observe and one or more questions at each station.
You will have 1 minute per station after which you will need to move to the next station. You may also be asked to perform various laboratory skills (see below). In preparation, be sure to …show more content…
