Learning Outcomes of UE

Based on what they gained in BA1 from the course of General biochemistry, this course will allow students to deepen their knowledge of the major metabolic pathways but also to integrate them in regard to pluricellular organization and to understand their interactions. <b>At the end of this course, students will be able to:</b>
-make the relationship between the structure and function of the molecules in living cell
-understand the regulations of metabolic pathways
-address human and pathological biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics courses without difficulties
-use acquired concepts to solve exercises
-determine the molecular causes of simple clinical problems -do a bibliographic research to find relevant information on a pathology Students will master essential concepts of general biochemistry and be able to use the acquired theoretical knowledge to solve exercises and deal with simple clinical problems.

Content of UE

<b>The lecture will be set up on 4 main parts:</b> 1. Metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids 2. Metabolism of proteins, amino acids and nucleotides 3. Interorgan and intracellular coordination and regulation of energy metabolism in vertebrates 4. Structure, function and replication of molécules of information
  ==> The <b>lecture</b> (face-to-face) will be associated with <b>practical works</b> (supervised work, exercises and e-learning)

Prior Experience

General Biochemistry (BA1)

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Written examination
• Practical test
• Quoted exercices
• eTest

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

<b>Lecture =</b> open-ended questions, and/or true or false, and/or MCQ <b>Practical work </b>= evaluated report, scored exercises and eTest + final test <b>Weighting for practical work </b>= 10 % of final score  <b>Access to practical work</b> is also subject to an interrogation ( a score of 5/10 is required and if a 4/10 score is obtained the student will receive a supplementary question to decide on his participation or not to pratical work) .

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Written examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The Q3 evaluation will be based on the lecture = MCQ, et/ou true and false,  and/or open-ended questions. The score reached in Q2 regarding eTest and practical work will be added in Q3 fo a w<b>eighting </b>of 10%.

Type of Resit Assessment for UE in Q1 (BAB1)

• N/A
