Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 1. Pharmaceutical expertise: Use a foundation of concepts and knowledge in health sciences and pharmaceutical sciences.
• Understand and integrate the fundamental sciences (chemistry, physics, biology, botany) involved in the specific fields of pharmaceutical sciences
• Understand and apply mathematical translations of large models and chemical and/or biological phenomena through abstract reasoning
• Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations
• 2. Scientific method: Solve pharmaceutical problems using their knowledge and critical mind.
• Understand and apply the basic principles of reasoning (obtaining data, analysis, synthesis, comparison, the rule of three, syllogism, analogy, Boolean logic, etc.)

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

• Written examination - Face-to-face
• Graded assignment(s) - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q1 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works. The mark of the practical works is obtained during the Q1 and is composed for 50% of the marks attributed to the reports of each manipulation, and for 50% of the mark obtained at the laboratory exam taking place at the end of Q1.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
 

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

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)

The exam is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.

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

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again the tests concerning the practical works.

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

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The exam of Q3 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q3 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again during Q3 the tests concerning the practical works.
