Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Practical exercises use technical examples taken from the activity of a biological diagnostic laboratory to illustrate the lectures. This should allow students to visualize in a concrete manner infectious agents and introduce them to containment techniques, contamination situations, and sterilization procedures. A test of the acquired competencies will be carried out at the end of each session. The general grade will be taken into consideration alongside the grade obtained at the theory exam.
The details of the practical exercises will be established with the students' representatives. |
