Course contents :
|
| This course, aimed at students whose main focus is human and social sciences, includes a basis in fundamental neurosciences on which a body composed of neurology and psychology lessons is based.
As introduction to the course makes a distinction between theoretical positive sciences and human and natural sciences.
For all the chapters, the teacher aims to show the neuropsychiatric element in the assessment of state crime and social crimes.
A distinction is made between perversions in attitude (group or individual) and mental problems. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| As the course includes both an explanatory and an indicative part regarding the concepts in question, students are helped in their approach through precise codes:
At the end of the lessons, if there are seven or more students, they will sit a written exam comprised of open questions where the answers should cover from half to one and a half pages of A4. If there are less than seven students, they will sit an oral exam with written preparation.
1) The exam questions relating to the fundamental neuroscience lessons are given during class.
2) The neurology and psychiatry themes students have to learn for the exam are indicated by an orange/red circle at the top of the slides. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Knowledge acquired during the last two years at school, in the human and social sciences sections. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course is taught as a series of lectures in an auditorium. Students can follow the classes by taking notes on paper or on a laptop.
It is highly recommended that students attend classes because the subjects developed are taken from a wide variety of documents dealt with in a synthetic manner by the teacher and adjusted to the students' initial level and level of interest, while remaining at university level. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The slides and the classes are available on the University of Liege's ad hoc site.
There are no other recommended texts other than the usual scientific encyclopaedias and dictionaries (including Wikipedia). These resources can help students to find any definitions that may have been missed in class. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| A written exam composed of open questions if there are seven or more students, and an oral exam supported by a written text if there are less than seven students. |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| No placement is planned but a visit to a neurophysiology unit can be organised upon request for groups of 10 students. |
