Faculty of Science
The "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell 1" course is the continuation of the S1 course "From Molecules to Cells" which will have laid the structural foundations of life. In this course, students will be introduced to the basics of biochemistry, replication, transcription, translation, intracellular movements and bioenergetics.
This UE will be completed by the UE HAV204V for the L1 SVSE.
It will be followed by the L1 TEE and the L1 Chemistry.
Critical thinking
ECTS
2 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This course, mandatory for all L1 students, will present the basics of epistemology and the scientific process as well as the tools necessary to analyze controversies surrounding the sciences and the modalities presented as alternatives. It will address the scientific investigation of so-called paranormal phenomena, pseudoscience, pseudo-medicine, psychological aberrations, sectarian alienation, etc. in order to make students aware of our cognitive biases and the rhetorical manipulations that can be used to convince or deceive. The ultimate goal of this course is to ensure that everyone can make informed choices, know how to research and sort information, and be able to protect themselves from techniques of influence and manipulation.
This course will be based on lectures and the viewing of various resources available on the internet. You will be required to complete a course of study on Moodle and in class, which will then be evaluated by an MCQ.

The UE "Biochemistry and molecular biology of the cell 2 " comes in complement of the UE "Biochemistry and molecular biology of the cell 1 " which will take place in parallel. In this course, the students will have to put into practice and deepen the theoretical knowledge acquired in "Biochemistry and molecular biology of the cell 1".

Better use of cognitive resources for learning
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit aims to provide students with recent knowledge in cognitive neuroscience in order to better use their brain resources to better learn, reflect, be critical of information and of themselves, and solve a problem more efficiently. The aim is to make some of the brain mechanisms involved in learning more readable in order to offer students the opportunity to take a look at their way of working and to help them choose more effective cognitive strategies from among those proposed. The course also offers students ways to become better scientists by avoiding cognitive biases in favor of a rigorous, innovative and creative scientific approach. Workshops and lectures will be offered in this sense in the class. Portraits of great and inspiring scientists will also illustrate how science advances.
Finally, aware that multiplying the sensory input channels stabilizes the memory trace, we propose a part of the teaching in the form of forum theater for those who wish to do so. This lively formula allows the student who wishes to invest in the game to be proactive in changing his or her profile as a learner and transforming him or her into an actor both on stage and in life. For those who are not inclined to act, there is no obligation. Simply observing the play of others is a powerful awareness of unconscious mechanisms that are not at the service of their learning and allows them to actively integrate the resources that are proposed to them.
