| The course of Biology is at a central and capital place in the training of the students engaged in Biomedical studies. It must give the fundamental concepts which govern the life. The lessons are a true trip within the living world. From the smallest elements which constitute it, we will see how they organize themself in increasingly complex structures which acquire new properties and are at the same time the basis of the unity and of the large diversity of the living matter. We will spend time on the basic element of the life: the cell. We will study how it domesticated the essential energy and how it manages to remain from generation to generation by keeping its particular characteristics. | ||||||||

| The course will take into account the large disparity in biology. The student must fluent in french language. Good knowledge of basic chemistry is essential. | ||||||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
||||||||
| General, Molecular and Cellular Biology is only composed of theorical lessons. | ||||||||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

| Face-to-face | ||||||||
|
Recommended or required readings :

The course of biology does not include a syllabus. The matter of the course are the topics taught during the ex cathedra lessons. The slides will be always available on the MyULg. The teacher recommends the use of the book entitled "Biology" (Campbell & Reece) as textbook. This book will help everybody to better integrate the matter of the lessons.
Reference : Campbell BIOLOGY, Jane Reece, PEARSON Education, 9th edition. For those who wish to buy a second hand book, the previous edition is also appropriate. This book can be bought at University Press. |
