and lecturers. Copies of lecture handouts are available:

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Practicals:
Practical classes as designed to illustrate the topics covered
in the lecture and to train you in the correct handling of micro-organisms (see
timetable). The practicals will be in MSB 135. A register of attendance will be
taken at practical classes.
For reasons of safety, you will not be allowed to do the practical class unless you are wearing a suitable lab coat. If you are refused entry to a practical session because you do not have a suitable lab coat then for registration purposes you will be recorded as absent.
Field Course:
The course will be held in the Easter vacation and will be
based in London. We will visit a range of laboratories doing work of interest to Microbiologists.
On previous courses we have visited the Central Public Health Laboratories, Institute
for Animal Health, The Commonwealth Mycological Institute, GlaxoWellcome, Unilever
Research and Scottish-Courage Brewery. The course also will be open to those taking
course BS224. Further details will be given later in this semester.
Field Course Convenor: Prof. PW Andrew (Microbiology and Immunology; pwa@le.ac.uk)
"Surgery" Times:
Normally staff will be able to talk to you after
lectures or in their offices (an appointment may be necessary). In addition, however,
staff will be available for discussion between 13.30 —14.30 on 3/12/99 and 10/12/99.

Assessment:
75% of the marks are from the end of semester examination. The
examination is a single, three-hour paper of four answers from nine questions.
25% of the marks are from the written report of the practical classes. Reports
must be handed into the Departmental Secretary, Ms S Mackley, MSB 130 by 12.00 noon
on 17th December 1999. For a valid submission you must sign-in your report
on the form that will be available in the secretary's office.
Without good reason, there is a penalty for late submission of 5% for each 24hr
period of lateness. Good reason for late submission does not include problems
with computers, scanners or printers. Marked reports will be made available on 17th
January 2000.
Feedback:
Course questionnaires will be provided and time allowed during
one of the practical classes for these to be completed. The Departmental Teaching
Team will consider the results of these questionnaires.
