Biologie générale (Module I)

Theory Part

• Part I : Unicity of alive world, basic macromolecules, life origin, cells discovery

• Part II : Cellular biology :

A. Procaryotes study (classification, structure, proteins synthesis, genetic of Procaryotes)

B. Viruses study (classification, structure, infection cycle)

C. Eucaryotes study (classification, structure and cell function, structure and organelles function)

• Part III : Genetics of Mendel and biotechnology

• Part IV : Evolution (Genetics of populations, Evolution proofs)

• Part V : Diversity of alive world

A. Vegetal biology

B. Fungus

C. Protists

D. Invertebrates

E. Chordates (classification, embryology, compared anatomophysiology)

• To sensibilize to fundamental unicity of living organisms and commune characteristics of human beings

• To sensibilize to diversity of living organisms

• To use basic notions about cellular structure and functions to understand the organisation of more complex organisms

Method(s) of evaluation

• Other

Other

• Theory: written assessment by multiple choice questionnaires (50%) and open questions (50%), organized in the month of January (matter Q1) and June (remedial matter Q1, and matter Q2). Possibly, oral examinations in the first and second examination sessions are organized according to the regulation under (see rules Jury BA1).

-Practical course: continuous assessment throughout the year (50% points), oral assessment (dissection, report, observations, oral questions) in Mai-June covering all of the matter (50% points).

An evaluation of second session (remedial Aug.-Sept) will be held for students with a final grade of TP 10.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

Detailed Assessment : Q1=BIOLG1102 (Matter Part) et Q2=BIOLG1103 (Matter and Practical Part))

1. Academic Course  : written exam (50% multiple choice questions and 50% open questions) in January (Matter Q1) and in June ( remedial matter Q1, and matter Q2); 1 written exam in August (Q1, Q2).

2. Practical course : annual evaluation (50% points) and final oral evaluation (dissection, report, observations, oral questions) in Mai-Ju ne (50% points). If the final grade of Practical Part 10.

3. Final grade of Teaching Unity ‘Biology’ :

-Grade BIOLG1102 = Grade Q1 (Matter Part)

-Grade BIOLG1103 = If one note is
