Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Contribute to basic training by providing the student basic skills and techniques for the History of Science.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the developmental biology of an animal body and the history of science, zoos,
apply the concepts of evolution to explain biological phenomena and explain in general terms the history of life and its major events evolutionary
demonstrate sufficient knowledge of biodiversity and the classification of the animal kingdom,
build a phylogeny based on a set of data,
describe organography and morphology of an animal,
applied issues Tinbergen specific behaviors,
demonstrate sufficient knowledge regarding the evolution, ontogeny, function and mechanism of behavior,
identify about 15 orders and 100 families of insects using an identification key,
demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the biology of insects.

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Each course module integrated component of Zoology (ZOOL0005-1) will be during the academic year a mark out of 20 (see "periods evaluations" below). Scores for the five courses will be weighted within the integrated module of Zoology ECTS allocated in proportion to the 5 courses.
Courses 1, 2 and 4 will each be a written evaluation (rated out of 20).
Classes 3 and 5 will each be a written evaluation, assessments and laboratory work staff.
