My Courses
The fundamentals of microbiology: Lectures are focused on the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, host-microbe interactions, immunity and human infectious diseases. Laboratory sessions are focused on pure culture techniques, methods of staining and the microscopic, colonial and biochemical identification of microorganisms.
This course will fulfill one of your writing-intensive requirements. You will be expected to complete several writing assignments, both in lab and lecture. These assignments will vary from a few sentences to long essays and lab reports. For long essays or lab reports you will be expected to hand in a first daft before the final copy is submitted. You will be given feedback on these drafts and it is expected you will incorporate these suggestions on the final copy.
Resources for Lab
The course, Fundamentals of Microbiology, has a lecture and laboratory component. The lecture focuses on the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, interaction between the microbe and the host, and human diseases. Laboratory sessions focus on pure culture techniques, methods of staining and the microscopic, colonial and biochemical identification of saprophytic organisms. Overall Class Learning Outcomes (1) Use analytical and critical thinking skills to approach a research project. (2) Develop basic microbiology laboratory techniques. (3) Differentiate the various types of test used in identifying and classifying pathogenic microorganisms. (4) Use the scientific method to gather, analyze, interpret and present field base research project

My Projects
Realizing the value of the research experience at the undergraduate level, this project is committed to fostering research opportunities for City Tech students. Faculty and students can use this project as a place to share announcements about research opportunities, as well as a place to offer information about the experiences students and faculty have had in their research endeavors. A handbook on effective mentoring, developed by the Undergraduate Research Committee, is currently available for download.
First Year Writing @ City Tech
FYW@City Tech is a program and a digital forum for sharing curricular and pedagogical resources related to teaching and learning about writing at City Tech. The First Year Writing Program @ City Tech (FYW@City Tech) offers professional and curricular support for faculty teaching First Year Writing Courses (ENG1101 and ENG1121) at the college. As a repository of materials related to best practices in teaching writing, the FYW@City Tech Web site is a place where FYW instructors and faculty across the college can learn more about teaching writing and archive their unique disciplinary resources related to teaching writing at a college of technology.
Faculty Publication Support Workshop Series
A joint initiative of the Faculty Commons and the Library’s Scholarly Communications Committee, this workshop series supports City Tech faculty in their scholarship and publishing.
CITY TECH – College Wide Assessment Committee
Assessment is an essential activity at City Tech, and indeed in all colleges and universities as accountability issues gain in importance. Many faculty members have become deeply engaged in assessment and have come to understand how to use it to strengthen curriculum and improve teaching and learning. The College Wide Assessment Committee at CITY TECH provides leadership and assistance in developing and overseeing a program of evaluation and feedback to enhance institutional effectiveness. The main goal is to design and help to fully implement the an structure, long envisioned, to guide assessment work and for faculty members to assume a greater role in the leadership of this initiative. The committee also: – develops and recommends college-wide policies; – assists in developing assessment procedures that meet accepted standards for data collection and analyses; – reviews assessment procedures for consistency with goals and objectives; – reviews results of assessment activities and recommends improvements; and – reviews the progress of the college in implementing assessment activities;
This project archive compiles the experiences of the Living Lab General Education Seminar Fellows over the 5 year period of the grant. It includes the reflections of participants and compilations of course portfolios with links to OpenLab course sites.
