      Objectives of general skills

      • Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
        • 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
        • Synthesise and summarise, in a critical way, information from scientific literature in different forms (textual, numerical, verbal and graphic)
      • Solve issues relevant to biology
        • Have developed practical skills in the various fields of biology through practical sessions in the laboratory and in the field, during which they have worked individually or in groups
        • Make accurate observations in the context of activities in the field and 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
