Learning unit contents
The sociology course aims to :
- to initiate students to sociological reasoning, through an analytical approach of the emergence context of sociology as a scientific discipline.
- to discuss the main characteristics of classical scientific thought and the way in which the relationship between knowledge and society is determined.
- to allow students to build a minimal sociological knowledge base that can be transposed to any societal problem in the bio-food field, in order to understand the constraints - both technical and social - of a society in perpetual evolution,
- equip students with the scientific approach in sociology based on the basic techniques and principles of scientific research in the social sciences.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit
In this perspective, the student will be led to :
- discover the contribution of social sciences and sociology to describe the social from different applications and scientific texts,
- understand the scientific approach in social sciences on the basis of practical exercises and a theoretical presentation,
- analyze and deepen, in groups of four, a societal theme in which their scientific training fits, with the help of theoretical and methodological tools specific to sociology.

written exam
Written work / report
Additional information:
The sociology course - and the introduction to the sociological approach that underlies it - will be evaluated by a 7 pages summary note written in groups analyzing - empirically and theoretically - with the help of tools specific to sociology, a societal issue in which their training is involved.
The evaluation methods are identical in the 1st and 2nd sessions
Evaluation criteria:
- contextualized presentation of the research object based on a documentary analysis of the grey and scientific literature,
- Empirical exploration of the research object based on the data collection methods presented during the course,
- use of sociological tools and references,
- reflexivity and prospective dimension (in what way could this work of reflection be extended?)
