Objectives of general skills
- Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
- Understand and use mathematical tools and basic statistics to describe and understand biological concepts
- Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related 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
- Have developed practical skills in the various fields of biology through practical sessions in the laboratory and in the field, during which they have worked individually or in groups
- Make accurate observations in the context of activities in the field and in the laboratory
- Grasp and use the usual methods the conservation of live materials
- Analyse and interpret, in an appropriate way, biological data collected in natura, through dissection or based on an experimental protocol 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)
- Understand the statistical and/or probabilistic methods
- Work with efficiency / accuracy / precision
- Present a hypothesis and hypothetical-deductive reasoning
- Develop critical thinking, test and monitor conclusions understanding the area of validity, and explore alternative hypotheses
- Manage doubt and uncertainty
- Communicate effectively and appropriately in French and English
- Understand and summarise articles, websites and other scientific works in French and English
- Communicate in French, orally and in writing, the results of experiments and observations by constructing and using graphs and tables
- Communicate on biological topics, orally and in writing in English and in writing in French, using the appropriate scientific language according to the audience
- Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
- Organise time and work, individually and in a group

- Manage stress regardless of events (exams, presentations, etc)
UE's Learning outcomes
The lecture of « Botanical Elements » aims to teach students to the main groups of plants: Bryophyta, Pteridophyta and Spermatophyta. They will learn their anatomy, their important tissues and their reproduction cycle. We will focus on the flowering plant (Angiosperm) for which we will study the flower morphology, the ovule, the fruits, the seeds, the pollination syndrome and dissemination. At the end of the practical and the theoretical lectures, students will be able to describe and recognize the common Belgian plants, their anatomy, their reproduction, their evolution and their ecology.
