The primary objective of this teaching unit is to enable students to discover scientific ecology in all its diversity. Particular attention is paid to the definition of scientific ecology, as opposed to the meaning of the term "ecology" (political ecology or environmentalism) in the media and for the general public. The place of the environment in the scientific study of ecology is also clarified. Through tutorials and practical work, three major themes in ecology are addressed: paleoecology, functional ecology, and evolutionary ecology. It is important to note that these themes are supported by a particularly active scientific community in Montpellier.

This teaching unit is designed to provide a general context for understanding Earth sciences and biology, while also taking into account the fields of humanities and social sciences. Today's Earth is not detached from its past. To understand the impacts of environmental and climatic transformations on planet Earth, a diachronic (long-term, change over time) and synchronic (spatial variations) approach is necessary.

Consequently, this EU presents the history of the Earth through geological time. It discusses the structure, composition, and processes of the Earth. Issues, concerns, and problems related to natural hazards are also included. It will also include lessons that provide students with the necessary foundations to understand the societal challenges surrounding climate and environmental issues. The benefits of this course unit are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling the training of young citizens or future workers who are capable of analyzing, critiquing, and thinking about past, present, and future environmental and climate issues, and participating in decision-making in societal debates dealing with environmental risks. This course unit was therefore designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science), demonstrating that approaches ranging from fundamental to operational are necessary.

This EU is divided into two parts. 

The first aims to consolidate the secondary school knowledge that is essential for pursuing higher education in science: understanding proportionality and linearity, calculating with powers, manipulating fractions, and solving simple equations. 

The second part will be devoted to the study of real variable functions: the focus will be on common functions, the graphical representation of functions, and the mathematical concept of derivatives (or instantaneous rates of change). 

Most of the concepts discussed will be illustrated with concrete examples from biology.

This compulsory course is intended for all students enrolled in the Bachelor's degree program in Life Sciences. It presents the main tools of discrete probability that are useful to biologists for understanding random phenomena involving counting variables in particular. The course is designed to be accessible to students who have only studied the basics of probability covered in high school. The course uses concrete examples to introduce modeling. 

• A preliminary section introduces the concept of sets, operations on sets, and the simple formalization of propositions.
• The second part introduces probability vocabulary and covers basic probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples relate to real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age and gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity).
• The third part is devoted to presenting the main discrete probability models: binomial, geometric, Poisson, and their applications. The concept of independent variables is presented heuristically, with the aim of providing tools for calculating the expected value and variance of the sum of random variables.
• Some numerical simulations may be presented to illustrate the concept of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or Poisson distribution.

In the lectures for this course, we describe each stage of the life cycle, starting with embryonic development (including organ formation, cell differentiation, and growth processes), moving on to the acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and ending with fertilization. This life cycle is discussed in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, allowing you to consolidate your knowledge of genetic information transmission. This will enable us to solve Mendelian genetics problems, including effects related to sex or epistasis, during the tutorials in this course unit.

This course, which is compulsory for all first-year students, will introduce the basics of epistemology and the scientific method, as well as the tools needed to analyze controversies surrounding science and alternative approaches. It will address the scientific investigation of phenomena considered paranormal, pseudosciences, pseudo-medicines, psychological abuses, sectarian alienation, etc., in order to make students aware of our cognitive biases and the rhetorical manipulations that can use them to convince or deceive. The ultimate goal of this course is to ensure that everyone can make informed choices, knows how to search for and sort information, and can protect themselves from techniques of influence and manipulation.

This course will be based on lectures and viewing various resources available on the internet. Students will be required to complete an entire course on Moodle and in class, which will then be assessed by a multiple-choice questionnaire.

 The brain is at the center of human behavior. It acts as the body's control tower. It continuously captures a flow of information coming from both the external environment and the body. This information must be processed and analyzed quickly in order to provide an appropriate response. All of these mechanisms, which at first glance appear complex, are based on simple biological mechanisms.

The aim of this teaching unit is to provide students with the latest knowledge in cognitive neuroscience so that they can make better use of their brainpower to learn more effectively, think critically, be critical of information and themselves, and solve problems more efficiently. The aim is to shed light on certain brain mechanisms involved in learning in order to encourage students to reflect on their own working methods and help them choose the most effective cognitive strategies from among those proposed. The EU also offers students ways to become better scientists by avoiding cognitive biases in favor of a rigorous, innovative, and creative scientific approach. Workshops and presentations will be offered in this regard in tutorials. Portraits of inspiring great scientists will also illustrate how science advances.

 Finally, aware that multiplying sensory input channels stabilizes memory retention, we offer part of the course in the form of forum theater for those who wish to participate. This lively format allows students who want to get involved in the game to be proactive in changing their learning profile and transforming themselves into actors both on stage and in life. For those who are not inclined to perform, there is no obligation; simply observing others perform is a powerful way to become aware of the unconscious mechanisms that are not conducive to their learning and allows them to actively integrate the resources offered to them.

It presents the main tools of discrete probability that are useful to biologists for understanding random phenomena involving counting variables in particular. The course is designed to be accessible to students who have only studied the basics of probability covered in high school. The course uses concrete examples to introduce modeling. 

• A preliminary section introduces the concept of sets, operations on sets, and the simple formalization of propositions.
• The second part introduces probability vocabulary and covers basic probability calculations (tables, trees) and conditional probabilities. The examples relate to real-life situations: calculating probabilities in a population stratified by age and gender, diagnostic tests (sensitivity/specificity).
• The third part is devoted to presenting the main discrete probability models: binomial, geometric, Poisson, and their applications. The concept of independent variables is presented heuristically, with the aim of providing tools for calculating the expected value and variance of the sum of random variables.
• Some numerical simulations may be presented to illustrate the concept of fluctuation of a random variable or the convergence of the binomial distribution to the normal distribution or Poisson distribution.

In the lectures for this course, we describe each stage of the life cycle, starting with embryonic development (including organ formation, cell differentiation, and growth processes), moving on to the acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and ending with fertilization. This life cycle is discussed in detail in metazoans and angiosperms, allowing you to consolidate your knowledge of genetic information transmission. This will enable us to solve Mendelian genetics problems, including effects related to sex or epistasis, during the tutorials in this course unit.

This course, which is compulsory for all first-year students, will introduce the basics of epistemology and the scientific method, as well as the tools needed to analyze controversies surrounding science and alternative approaches. It will address the scientific investigation of phenomena considered paranormal, pseudosciences, pseudo-medicines, psychological abuses, sectarian alienation, etc., in order to make students aware of our cognitive biases and the rhetorical manipulations that can use them to convince or deceive. The ultimate goal of this course is to ensure that everyone can make informed choices, knows how to search for and sort information, and can protect themselves from techniques of influence and manipulation.

This course will be based on lectures and viewing various resources available on the internet. Students will be required to complete an entire course on Moodle and in class, which will then be assessed by a multiple-choice questionnaire.

 The brain is at the center of human behavior. It acts as the body's control tower. It continuously captures a flow of information coming from both the external environment and the body. This information must be processed and analyzed quickly in order to provide an appropriate response. All of these mechanisms, which at first glance appear complex, are based on simple biological mechanisms.

Through this EU, several disciplines will be covered in order to provide reminders and/or basic information concerning: the Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Atmosphere, as well as, and above all, their evolution since the planet's origins. The disciplines (and major themes) covered will be:

-Paleontology: Evolution, Biochronology and Geological Eras, Biodiversity and Past Crises.

-Climatology and Oceanography: How can we study the climate? What is the role of the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere? In response to contemporary global challenges, tools are being developed to better characterize the mechanisms of climate change and their impacts on terrestrial and marine environments from the past to the future, particularly through changes in biogeochemical cycles on a global scale. Environmental geochemistry will be a key method for characterizing both anthropogenic and natural footprints.

The main objectives are to gain a thorough understanding of how these envelopes interacted with the geosphere in the past (covered in greater depth in EU HAT102T Geology) and to learn how to analyze a current natural landscape in terms of its evolution over geological time.
