Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
- Understand and use mathematical tools and basic statistics to describe and understand biological concepts
- Integrate knowledge from other fields of knowledge with biology (earth science, physics, chemistry, mathematics), in a critical way, to foster an interdisciplinary approach
- Solve issues relevant to biology
- Analyse and interpret, in an appropriate way, biological data collected in natura, through dissection or based on an experimental protocol in the laboratory
- Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
- Understand and apply the basic principles of reasoning (obtaining data, analysis, synthesis, comparison, rule of three, syllogism, analogy, etc.)
- Understand the statistical and/or probabilistic methods
- Work with efficiency / accuracy / precision
- Present a hypothesis and hypothetical-deductive reasoning
- Develop critical thinking, test and monitor conclusions understanding the domain of validity, and explore alternative hypotheses
- Manage doubt and uncertainty
- Communicate effectively and appropriately in French and English
- Communicate in French, orally and in writing, the results of experiments and observations by constructing and using graphs and tables
- Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
- Organise time and work, individually and in groups
- Prioritise
- Manage stress regardless of events (exams, presentations, etc.)
Learning Outcomes of UE
To master software and statistical tools required for data science, more particularly, data importation, management and transformation, data visualization and inference.
To present results clearly and adequately in a scientific report. To be able to analyze correctly usual biological data in practice.
