Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student will have acquired a global vision of the diversity and evolution of the orders and families of insects, with an emphasis on the groups present in Europe.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
This course provides the fundamentals of the study of insects. After a general introduction to Metazoans and Arthropods, the course introduces the student to the evolution, physiology and functional morphology of insects. The groups of insects seen in the theoretical courses include Entognaths, Apterygotes, Polyneoptera, Parametabolas and Holometabolas. At the end of the course, the student will be able to recognize the majority of European insects at family level, and certain Hymenoptera insects at genus level.

S-BIOG-009 | The evaluation of the theoretical part takes place in the form of a written exam. It counts for 50% of the final grade. The practical part counts for the other 50 percent. The evaluation of the practical part takes place as follows: - Work during the year: TP report (10%), questioning (10%) - Insect box and notebook: 30% - Recognition exam: 50% |
