Learning unit contents
Radiobiology is the study of radiations on the living matter. The goal of this course is to provide the scientific elements at the basis of radioprotection.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
1) to provide the scientific elements which explain the effects of radiations
2) to describe quantitatively the effects of radiations
3) to evaluate the risks and benefits of (non) ionizing radiations
4) to correlate radiobiology and radioprotection
5) to correlate radiobiology with therapeutic procedures after an accidental irradiation
6) to confer expertise for the use of radiations in medicine
7) to compare radiations and other deleterious agents in the environment
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The radiobiology is the study of 2 partners, radiations and living organisms. It is therefore necessary to have basic notions of physics and biology.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
-----
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Combination of ex-cathedra lessons and personal research.
presentation of an article of bibliography (by student)
face-to-face and/or distance-learning
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Copies of slides shown during the lessons and review articles or books.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Written exam with opened questions and with QCM (2/3)
