Unit handbook information

Synopsis
The following aspects of the interactions of microbes with their hosts will be presented in lectures,
tutorials, discussion groups and videos: The history of infectious diseases, medically important
viruses and bacteria, pathogenic mechanisms in infectious diseases, immunity to infection, and
their regulation, control of infection by vaccines and drugs, and emerging diseases.
Mode of delivery
Clayton (Day)
Workload requirements
3 lectures and one 3-hour laboratory class or tutorial/discussion session per week.
Students will have up to 3 lectures per week. With regard to practicals and tutorials, all students
will be allocated into one of two streams (either A or B). Stream A will attend one 3-hour practical
class per week for the first six weeks of semester then one 2-hour tutorial per week for Weeks 7 to
12. Students in Stream B will do the tutorials in Weeks 1 to 6 and practicals in Weeks 7 to
12.Students are also expected to spend approximately 6 hours per week on study, assignments
and practical reports.

Academic overview
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1. Explain the importance of micro-organisms in health and disease;
2. Describe how host and pathogenic factors of micro-organisms affect the outcome of
infection;
3. Describe basic mechanisms of immunity to infection and the development and use of
vaccines;
4. Explain how infectious diseases are spread, tracked and controlled, and the susceptibility
and resistance of microbial pathogens to antimicrobial agents;
5. Describe some examples of microbial pathogens including bacteria, viruses, fungi and
parasites, the diseases that they cause, their mechanisms of pathogenesis, and treatment;
6. Demonstrate knowledge of microbiological methodology and laboratory skills that are
5
6. Demonstrate knowledge of microbiological methodology and laboratory skills that are

used to study and diagnose microbial pathogens.
Teaching approach
Teaching approach
This unit focuses on the interaction between microbes with each other and other types of living
forms including humans. A high proportion of marks (50%) will be given for the laboratory work,
reflecting our belief that the development of practical skills and confidence in the laboratory is very
important. A major objective of this unit is to give students sufficient grounding so that they can
begin to act as competent microbiologists in all disciplines and relevant areas.
Continuous assessment is used throughout the semester. The assessments structure is outlined
later.

Assessment requirements
Students are required to note the Facultys assessment policy (item 1.2.1) regarding threshold standards at:
http://www.med.monash.edu.au/policies/assessment-policy.html
Students are required to refer to the University Academic Integrity policy and procedure at:
http://www.policy.monash.edu.au/policy-bank/academic/education/conduct/student-academic-integrity-policy.html
The procedures state that:
Proofreading: The process of identifying errors and suggesting corrections to a text. This must not involve rewriting passages of text in
order to clarify meaning; amending the words used by the author (except to identify the correct spelling of the word used); rearranging
passages of text or code, or reformatting other material; contributing additional material to the original; and checking calculations or
formulae.
Academic Integrity and Technology
In line with the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Facilities by Students Procedures, students are not permitted to use
Information and Communications Technology facilities to sell, purchase or offer to write assignments or other assessable work, or to
request help with such work. Furthermore, students are required to take steps to minimise opportunities for others to cheat by, for
example, not saving work to a shared network drive that is accessible by others and not sharing work on social media sites. Failure to
comply with these requirements may result in disciplinary action under Part 7 of the Monash University (Council) Regulations for
collusion or general misconduct, as appropriate in the circumstances.
Students should be aware that the University will monitor and act on information received about the use of cheat sites, paper mills and
other online resources that promote dishonest academic conduct. If a student has been found to have used any of these sources to
breach the Student Academic Integrity Policy, the University will pursue the matter in accordance with Part 7 of the Monash University
(Council) Regulations.

Your feedback to us
One of the formal ways students have to provide feedback on teaching and their learning
experience is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The feedback
is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied with
and areas for improvement.
Previous student evaluations of this unit

In response to the last SETU of this unit, the following changes have been made:
1. Some lectures have been streamlined in an attempt to reduce the academic content of the
course without compromising overall quality.
2. We have added revision lectures (including answering EMCQs).
3. We have added more revision quizzes to aid learning.
17
4. We have added more MCQ revision material.
5. We have made the tutorials much more interactive.
