  1. Microbiology for Majors Course Context: 3000 level course that is part of our Biology Core

  2. Learning Activities • Group activity (in-class) • Draw and label cell walls of Gram positive, Gram negative and acid-fast bacteria. • Draw and label the cell wall of archaea. • Compare and contrast how cell wall structures of Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria, acid-fast bacteria, and archaea that • Impact environmental stability • Play a role in disease • Impact sensitivity to antibiotics and disinfectants • Gram staining (in lab) • Acid-fast staining (in lab)

  3. Formative Assessments • Worksheet (pre-work) • All of the following are found in the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria except • N-acetylglucosamine • Lipoteichoic acid • Lipid A • Teichoicacid • Gram-negative cells contain a periplasmic space that is • filled with lysozyme • the site of protein synthesis • rich in degradativeenzymes • a site of endocytosis • Quiz (short answer) • What structural feature is responsible for the thicker peptidoglycan in Gram positive bacteria? • What is the most common type of cell wall in the archaea made out of?

  4. Summative Assessments • Unit exam • Cell wall essay exam question rubric • Question: Compare and contrast the cell walls of Gram + bacteria, Gram – bacteria, and Archaea.

  5. Timeline • August: finalize learning activities and summative and formative assessments for learning objective #2. Revise pre/post test • September: implement new tools in class and evaluate their effectiveness • October – November: Start developing a knowledge survey for our Microbiology Course that aligns with our pre/post test • December: Develop appropriate case studies and continue to align exam questions and learning objectives
