| The theoretical course is divided into two parts:
1. A first one (3 lessons) devoted to taxonomy, including:
- notions of nomenclature;
- the species concept, and associated problems;
- brief analysis of intraspecific variations;
- nature and use of discriminant characters.
2. A second part (7-8 lessons) presenting, on a plylogenetical based approach, the diversity of heterotrophic organisms (unicellulars and metazoans, thus about 50 phyla).
Several scientific papers, as well as a movie, will be proposed in order to illustrate the course.
Practicals include 5 sessions of 4h, and are typically devoted to the morphological analysis of various groups of parasites, unicellulars or metazoans (apicomplexa, ciliates, flat worms, nematodes...). Each session is introduced by a theoretical lesson.
Presence to practicals is mandatory.
A written report, by groups of 2 to 4 students, will be asked, to be submitted at the beginning of February. This report will concern problems of parasitology / prophylaxy. Informations will be given at the 1st theoretical lesson. |

|
| Theoretical exam is an oral one, in January. Student will have 30' to prepare a single question (transversal, ie covering several chapters). He (she) will have at disposal his own notes and various books provided by the teacher.
Practicals are judged on a report (see paragraph "Course Content") as well as on the assiduity and interset shown during lessons.
Theory and practicals count for 70 and 30% of the final estimation, respectively. |

| There is no special field trip associated to this course. Nevertheless learned theory will be of great utility for the course "Stage" organized during the same Master 1 BOE. |

| Theoretical lessons are given at the Botanical Institute (B22), at 9 AM (see dates in the programme).
Practicals are held at the Zoological Institute (Aquarium, I1), at 2 PM (dates will be specified at the 1st theory course). |
