Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Describe, organise, analyse and prioritise the phenomena observed in the medical field
    • Understand the expression of biological realities in absolute or relative terms, the orders of magnitude, proportions and probability
    • Understand and use different graphical representations of numerical values and their relationships
    • Perceive spatial distribution, and understand two- and three-dimensional representations and interconvert them
    • Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations
  • Demonstrate interpersonal skills developed within a medical context
    • Summarise, explain, and argue
    • Work in a team
  • Develop reasoning skills
    • Understand and apply the basic principles of reasoning (obtaining data, analysis, synthesis, comparison, the rule of three, syllogism, analogy, Boolean logic, etc.)
    • Understand and apply Bayesian inference
    • Use a hypothesis in inductive, deductive or abductive reasoning
    • Develop critical thinking, test and monitor conclusions understanding the domain of validity, and explore alternative hypotheses
    • Manage doubt and uncertainty
  • Manage their studies
    • Read, interpret, and critique a scientific article
  • Be a responsible practitioner
    • Be loyal to the facts, to the team, to intellectual property, confidentiality, etc.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The student will have refined his knowledge in general physics (mechanics, fluids, optics, waves, electromagnetism and modern physics). He will understand the physical principles involved in different biological or biomedical applications as biomechanics, blood flow, elasticity, hearing and vision, nerve impulses and biomedical imaging.
Finally he will be able to develop a scientific method, to perform simple experiments, to analyze experimental results, to estimate an error and to realize and interpet a graph.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

See contents of AA 102 and 103 

Prior Experience

Elementary notions of physics and mathematics.

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE assessment

  • Written examination - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Evaluation based on the evaluations of AA 102 and 103. The theory of AA 102 and 103 will be tested through a global written assesment organized during the exam period. In case of justified absence of a student at the written assesment, if a new assesment is organized, it could be an oral assesment.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

The weighting is
-85% for the written examination on the theoretical lessons of AA 102 and 103,
-10% for the written examination concerning the practical works of AA 102,
-5% for the lab reports of AA 102.
 

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE resit assessment (BAB1)

  • Written examination - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)

Evaluation based on the evaluations of AA 102 and 103. The theory of AA 102 and 103 will be tested through a new global written assesment organized during the exam period. In case of justified absence of a student at the written assesment, if a new assesment is organized, it could be an oral assesment.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE resit assessment

The weighting is
-85% for the written examination on the theoretical lessons of AA 102 and 103,
-10% for the written examination concerning the practical works of AA 102, the Q1 rating is maintained,
-5% for the lab reports of AA 102, the Q1 rating is maintained.

 

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q3 UE assessment

  • Written examination - Face-to-face

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Evaluation based on the evaluations of AA 102 and 103. The theory of AA 102 and 103 will be tested through a new global written assesment organized during the exam period. In case of justified absence of a student at the written assesment, if a new assesment is organized, it could be an oral assesment. 

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q3 UE assessment

The weighting is
-85% for the written examination on the theoretical lessons of AA 102 and 103,
-10% for the written examination concerning the practical works of AA 102, the Q1 rating is maintained,
-5% for the lab reports of AA 102, the Q1 rating is maintained.
