    Independent research projects:

Possible projects- these are the possible guided projects, though you can compose your own with the guidance of your instructor         

  • Challenge project (you choose this one, and THEN you get the question but as a hint, the project this semester deals with industrial microbiology)
  • More forthcoming

Past classes

Some really old tests to give you an idea of the type of questions I'm likely to ask:
    Test #1
    Test #2
    Test #3

Some Assigments and labs
