      Objectives of general skills

      • 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
        • Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related to biology
        • Integrate knowledge from other fields of knowledge with biology (earth science, physics, chemistry, mathematics), in a critical way, to foster an interdisciplinary approach
      • 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.)
        • Develop critical thinking, test and monitor conclusions understanding the domain of validity, and explore alternative hypotheses
