Module 1: Introduction and Safety
Section outline
-
The course objectives are developed from recommendations of the American Society for Microbiology about the undergraduate curriculum for Microbiology courses and professional programs in allied health. It is our intention as an instructor to prepare you as a professional who is competent in microbiological techniques. (Image: Safety Glasses by Vivien Rolfe licensed as CC BY-SA 2.0)
Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:- Obj. 1 Understand and apply biosafety as it relates to the scientific method, critical thinking and microbiology (Course Outcome # 6)
- Obj. 2 Understand and apply scientific methods and critical thinking as it relates to microbiology (C.O. #)
To achieve these objectives:
- Read the Module 1 Introduction
- Read Lab 1 Introduction and Safety. Please download and read the lecture slides about biosafety. Please download and read the “Supplemental Materials for Guidelines for Biosafety in TeachingLaboratories 2.0” by the American Society for Microbiology.
- Please complete the practice quiz about biosafety.
Note the check boxes to the right that help you track your progress: some are automatic, and some are manual.

This assignment addresses course outcome(s) #6 (In a virtual setting) or (Face-to-Face setting) Perform essential microbiological techniques in a simulated environment with confidence, utilizing digital tools to analyze and interpret virtual and hands-on experimental data, and apply their virtual and/or hands-on laboratory skills to clinical and public health contexts in nursing and allied health. and module learning objective(s)
Obj. 1 Understand and apply biosafety as it relates to the scientific method, critical thinking and microbiology (Course Outcome # 6)Download and read lecture slides biosafety & ASM biosafety guidelines
Motivation:
Dear students, to the surprise and dismay of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) biosafety guidelines for undergraduate microbiology labs were found insufficient in spite of earlier high-quality efforts. Thus, ASM developed improved and updated guidelines in 2019. As you are taking an undergraduate microbiology lab, you absolutely need to be informed about the updated guidelines.
Additionally, the lecture slide gives you information about laboratory rules, biosafety classification, good laboratory practices and some legal frameworks.
This assignment ensures in a structure manner that you get this critical information.
Instruction:
Dear student, please download the document “Supplemental Materials for Guidelines for Biosafety in Teaching Laboratories 2.0: A Revised and Updated Manual for 2019” attached as the file jmbe-20-57-s001.pdf
Dear student, please download the attached document Microbiology safety instructions v06
