SVSE profile YesYes

The "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course is a continuation of the S1 course "From Molecules to Cells," which laid the structural foundations of life. In this course, students will learn the basics of biochemistry, replication, transcription, translation, intracellular movements, and bioenergetics.

This EU will be supplemented by EU HAV204V for L1 SVSE.

It will be followed by L1 TEE and L1 Chemistry.

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 "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 2" course complements the "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course, which will be held in parallel. In this course, students will be required to apply and deepen the theoretical knowledge acquired in "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1."

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.
