Learning Outcomes of UE

During this apprenticeship, the student will develop an in-depth knowledge of both bacterial and viral pathogens involved in human infections. He'll learn measures to prevent and control those infections and he will be able to have an appreciation for news and major issues related to Microbiology (outbreaks, emerging bugs, ...).  

Content of UE

This UE is composed of both theroritical sessions and practical works. The theoritical part is divided in four main sections: 1/ clinically important bacteria 2/ clinically important viruses 3/ prevention and control measures 4/  illustrations.

Prior Experience

M-DOYM-014: Microbiologie générale et médical : introduction;  Basics in Immunology and Biology

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works
• Written examination
• Quoted exercices

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Multiple choice questionnaire, one-answer allowed, no minus points (theoritical part). Interactive classes with exercices an oral presentations  (practical works by groups, attendance is mandatory, these sessions represent 20% of the final mark).

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Written examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Multiple choice questionnaire, one-answer allowed, no minus points (theoritical part) The mark obtained during the practical sessions still counts for 20% of the final mark (practical mark is transferred from Q2 to Q3; ! not from an academic year to another !).
