Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Block3 of the bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences aims to train students in scientific research from a point of view of both conceptual approach and experimental practice. This course is provided at Q1 in addition to the didactic laboratories and the cell culture course which aim to train students in different experimental practices. All of these courses should allow students to acquire the bases necessary to best tackle the integrated practical training of Q2 which combine both the development of an experimental strategy, to answer a given scientific question, and the carrying out the experiments.
Main aims:
- To give the basis to develop a reflexive practice related to the scientific method
- To develop a critical mind concerning the establishment of an experimental plan based on a research hypothesis
- To analyse and to give a critical interpretation of experimental results
- To develop a synthesis mind
