This course introduces the history of Korean Americans from the early 20th-century to the present.

This lecture covers the first half of the textbook, Brock Biology of Microorganisms, including structures and functions of cells, microbial physiology, gene expression and regulation, and introduction to virology. Students learn about the life of microorganisms and viruses and how microbiology provides basic and essential concepts useful in diverse fields of biological science and biotechnology. The goal is to understand the life of microorganisms and viruses; to understand how microbiology provides basic and essential concepts useful in diverse fields of biological science; and to learn about the impact of microbiology in the fields of biotechnology.

Prerequisites: Biology, Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry
