Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
• Understand the fundamentals of chemistry (including organic chemistry) and general physics both applied 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
• 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.)
• 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

Provide students with the basics of organic chemistry necessary to understand further biological chemistry and biochemistry classes.

Content of UE

The course is divided into two parts: organic chemistry and general description. The first part is devoted to the study of fundamental concepts: molecular orbital and hybridization; electronic effects; stability and reactivity of molecules; isomerism and stereochemical isomerism. 
The second part presents the main organic functions with emphasis on the relationship between chemical reactivity and electronic structure of the molecules.
