|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This introductory course on cell biology is devoted to studying the structure and functions of the cell, the common denominator of living matter. The terms of cell multiplication and reproductive are also discussed. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Proficiency in French |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| TP1: How to use a microscope and a binocular magnifying glass (common to this course and those of plant biology and animal)
TP2: osmosis and membrane permeability
TP3: Cell energetics
TP4: Mitosis
TP5 : Animal reproduction
TP6 : Plant reproduction
TP7 : Animal tissues
TP8 : Plant tissues |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The lectures are essentially given on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:00 during the first 8 weeks of the first quadrimester. Four seminaries will be also given.
Practical works concretely illustrate important aspects of the course. The sessions of practical works will give the first quadrimester in the Great Hall of practical work of the Institute of Zoology (building I1, 22, quai Van Beneden, Liege).
Some compulsory remediation sessions will be organised during the first quadrimester. The access to these sessions will be subject to the preparation of a test. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Of course notes and a guide of practical work are available to students at the beginning of the academic year.
Reference books:
- Biologie générale. P. Van Gansen Ed. Masson
- Biologie cellulaire. M. Maillet. Ed. Masson
- Biologie et physiologie cellulaires. A. Berkaloff et al. Ed. Hermann
- Une visite de la cellule vivante. Ch. De Duve. Ed. De Boeck |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| - Tests in the form of QCM and on the material seen during the theoretical course will be held during the first quadrimester.
- Tests on the subject of the practical work will be held at the end of each session of practical works in cell biology.
- An examination in the form of a written test on any matter (theory and practice), will be held at each session. The matter of seminaries will not do part of the exam matter.
- The overall mark submitted for deliberation will consider the QCM points, the interrogation points obtained at the end of practical work sessions, the active participation in compulsory remediation sessions and the mark of written test. |

Organizational remarks :
|
| The practical works constitute substantial assistance in the acquisition of knowledge, in the acquisition of a critical spirit and in the development of a sense of observation. To be profitable, assistance to practical works involves the previous study of the corresponding matter (at least a thorough reading). The presence in the practical works is mandatory. Any absence for medical reasons must be justified by a certificate. In case of repeated unjustified absences, the student will be denied access to the examination of cell biology. |
