2.NON- WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS
Weekly exercises: Always looking for full participation, being willing to TRY, to EXPLORE.
Partner work : (specific work, not from a play, with fellow student)
Art Comes To Life: Individual assignment, will explain in class(THIs or partner work will be counted as midterm, depending on where are mid-semester)
Live Plays/ Videos of plays: I will ask you to watch one or two plays on line (I will give you the link> I usually get FREE TICKETS to theatre. I do not expect you to go, but tickets are costly so a good deal. I will expect each of you to see ONE play during the semester since this is an ACTING class and it’s good to know something about what acting on stage looks like.
5. At end of semester —You will memorize a monologue of approx. 2 minutes in
length. Choose a character from a full-length, contemporary (written in the last
50/60 years) play. No Shakespeare/historical, British or other foreign language
or foreign accent pieces (unless play written in accent from your own first
language.) ONLY modern, contemporary plays. The character you choose must be
close in age to yourself. *We will discuss in future and I will offer monologue/
play suggestions via handout. Be ready to present by 12/12
3. WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS (Please read carefully)
1. A weekly impression/ essay. Use your senses to observe: your choice of subject (1 or 2 paragraphs, more if you want) Using your senses, write down your impressions of a moment, an event, a place, an object, a feeling, a person, a memory, etc. Look closely /deeply. USE YOUR SENSES (hearing/smell/vision/touch –feel/observe. Describe what you’re ACTUALLY feeling (not what’s in your head, or what you think is poetic— but what your senses are ACTUALLY perceiving; what your senses are telling you., and in turn, possibly making you feel, emotionally. NO lists of complaints, or how you spent your day; not about facts or reasoning, NO OPINION PIECES. Write an immediate/organic response to something. Simply describe what you see/observe/feel/experience.One per week for first six weeks. 9/16-10/21
2 Optional - Journal:— write down what you feel you may have understood or learned each week. You can then build on that. For you, not me.
3. Cultural Research: We will talk more about in class. Researching past heritage, cultural/ community and/or family traditions, to share and apply for exercise work in class. Information can be easily found online or from your own experiences. Date due TBD.
4. Summary: - For your final, you will present a monologue from a play (NOT a screenplay/ film, nor from a novel.) (*See more info below *Monologue) Your must read a one act play (at lest 20 pages) or full-length play. *IF you have reading or language issues, we can find something very short. YOU WILL read the play you have selected because it has a monologue appropriate for you. AS YOU READ, write down what happens in each scene IN YOUR OWN WORDS. *Include a final sentence of what you think the play is about. ) You must read the play. Plays are quick reads –as it’s all dialogue (people talking), NOT like a novel. I will provide a list of SUGGESTED plays/playwrights and bring in some choices. *I need to know your play selection by November 18th, So START looking for a play with a character about your age, that has a MONOLOGUE (character talks alone for approx. 2 mins —NOT in dialogue - a back and forth —with someone else.) Ask me for help if you need it. I will explain this further later in class, so LISTEN. DUE DATE: 11/18 (THis is to give you time to memorize the monologue!
5. World Of The Play: research on the Art Comes to Life assignment.(See below) Discover all you can about the character you choose: work, daily life, relationships, social status, city/ country, what is going on politically, what year is it and what are the social norms of that time. It should be at least a full typewritten page of information that you can discover easily on the internet. DUE DATE: TBD
6. Back Story: Biography of the character you have chosen for monologue (see above). I WILL GIVE YOU A PAGE OF QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED. Once you read the play and have a feel for the character you are portraying in the monologue, you can answer the questions, inventing pieces that would seem logical for the character if those questions are not answered in the play. Any answers must be believable to the character and consistent with prior info about the character already mentioned in the play The backstory helps the actor understand the events,places, relationships that shaped the character and makes him/her a real person, with a past. Will explain again in class so LISTEN! This is fun and simple to do once you have READ the play. Due: LATEST 12/5.
7. Plays on line: I will ask you to watch a video or two. (I will give you the link) I will ask for a a few written answers to questions, in class)
** OPTIONAL Extra Credit —(This is not in place of other assignments or so you can miss class!) If you are genuinely interested in acting, or in a life in the theatre, it is always smart to learn as much as you can, comparing approaches to acting training, etc. SO— if interested, Select a BOOK on Acting Technique. Read & summarize, chapter by chapter. I will give you a list of books on Acting Technique/handout. There are some in BHCC Library and in Bookstore (to by or rent, I believe) Due by last week of class.

ATTENDANCE POLICY - Attendance =participation (see #1) If not here, not participating. Each week of class builds on exercises in the prior sessions; Students are allowed One Unexplained Absence (equiv. of two typical classes). Please provide /dr/clinic/court, etc. notes for any other absence.
GRADING SYSTEM involves
Your commitment and involvement in the class, participating with enthusiasm/ eagerness to explore, experience, with an aim to learn something, not going through motions; Not letting your partner down, but contributing to ideas; Sharing responses in class. Written assignments actually worked on and not thrown together at the last minute. Example; Essays are NOT a sentence or two written in class;
2. That you are absent no more than once unless with good, documented reason: That you arrive ON TIME so we are not waiting for you to start an exercise (includes returns from break)
*Work turned in LATE reduces your grade on the assignment. NO JOKE.
Your grades are NOT based on how good of an actor/actress you or I feel you are.
CLASS OBJECTIVES
To begin work in the following areas: sensory awareness, communication skills, observation of human behavior, making choices, exploration of expression, freedom of physical expression, (taking away inhibitions), trusting impulses, using our emotional selves and understanding the meaning underneath the text (the written line). This is a slow process and this class is about “PROCESS”— NOT performance. Experiencing the exercises/games with the goal the moment is more important than trying to do them “right” or “perfectly.” We go for real/honest/organic
What you should know about this class.
Through fun, shared exercises and improvisations, we take our goals seriously. We are about OBSERVATION, NOT judgment. If you have an idea for an exercise that would serve our work, let me know. Just showing up doesn’t get you a good grade. I’m looking forward to our semester. Have fun, go along with the program. It’s for you . You might experience something new!
***IMPORTANT: If you have language, reading, writing or learning disabilities or difficulties, PLEASE TALK TO ME PRIVATELY. I understand the problems such issues can create. We can work together to find alternative assignments to those posted.

This course is intended for students entering health care careers and the biotechnology industry. This course will provide a solid foundation of basic physiological and biochemical activities of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. The fundamentals of microbial physiology, genetics, and immunology will be presented with emphasis placed on virulence factors and the mechanisms in which these microorganisms establish disease. Microbiology in the workplace will be covered through a discussion of methods of physical and chemical control of microorganisms, microbial growth and enumeration. The use of anti-viral drugs, and antibiotics, the host immune response to infection, and the effectiveness of various vaccination strategies will also be discussed. The course will be completed by investigating the importance of human pathogens in patient care and nosocomial infection while looking at several major diseases. Exercises in the laboratory portion of the course deal with aseptic techniques, microbial cultivation and growth characteristics, staining and bacterial isolation techniques, differential biochemical tests, identification of unknown bacterial species, and testing effectiveness of antimicrobial agents.
All science courses are considered web-enhanced. Online assignments may be required in this course.
Prerequisite: Grade of C+ or better in (BIO203) Anatomy and Physiology I/Lab or (BIO195) General Biology I/Lab or admission to Nursing Program.
