Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
Teaching is based on (i) the syllabus, very complete and which should be the most important learning support, (ii) the slides, (iii) the podcasts, and (iv) the repetitions by the teaching student.
All chapters of the syllabus and all the slides are accessible on MyULiege since the beginning of the quadrimester.
The Podcasts of Chapters VII and VIII have been recorded during the lectures delivered before the confinement and immediately made available online, while the Podcasts of Chapters IX, X, XIII and XIV have been made accessible online during the first week of the confinement (Podcasts recorded during year 2018-2019).
The teaching student has also prepared slides and recorded Podcasts, and made them available online throughout the quadrimester.
A session to answer the questions of the students is organised on collaborate.
Assessment subjects
The evaluation covers the topics detailed in the following chapters:
- Chapter VII - nerve integration: basic organization of groups of neurons; nervous reflexes (spinal and somatic); sensory reception and perception; initiation and integration of motor activities; higher mental functions (brain waves; sleep-wake cycle; consciousness; learning; memory; sex and brain)
- Chapter VIII - endocrine system: general characteristics; structure and general actions of hormones; general control of hormonal secretions; main endocrine glands (pituitary gland; thyroid; parathyroid; adrenal; gonads; pancreas); nervous and endocrine integration
- Chapter IX - cardiovascular system: cardiac anatomy; electrical properties of the heart muscle; electrocardiogram; cycle of heart contraction; heart sounds; cardiac flow; regulation of cardiac output; blood circulation; blood pressure and resistance; bllod pressure regulation; distribution of blood to tissues; capillary exchanges; blood and its compounds; blood groups
- Chapter X - respiratory system: general considerations; anatomy of the respiratory system; ventilatory mechanics; respiratory volumes and capacities; alveolar ventilation; gas exchanges; transport of respiratory gases in the blood; breathing regulation
Chapter XIII - digestive system: digestive processes; functional concepts; structural organization; gastric secretion; pancreatic secretion; absorption phenomena; hunger and satiety
Chapter XIV - immune system: terminology; antibody structure; cellular and humoral immunity; lymphoid tissue; formation of T cells and B cells; T cells and cellular immunity; B cells and humoral immunity; autoimmunity
Assessment methods
The evaluation will be conducted using multiple choice questions (MCQ) with certainty coefficients and True-False questions.

Assessment methods
The evaluation will be done by written exam in the form of multiple response questions (QRM), with several proposals (items) for each question.
For EVERY question, any combination will be possible: either no proposition will be correct, or one proposition will be correct, or two propositions will be correct, or three propositions will be correct, ... or all the propositions will be correct. Abstentions will be possible.
The evaluation will be performed on the E-Campus plateforme
