Content
Biophysics is a discipline at the interface of physics and biology where physical concepts and tools for observation and modeling of physics are applied to human biological phenomena. The course is taught in a flipped classroom, each month a new topic is covered.
The themes also change annually. The students are given the theoretical basis for their theme and then have to carry out a project in teams.

Teaching methods
REVERSE CLASS - TEAMWORK
Students come to the course during the month assigned to them by the secretariat between October and January. Project work in reverse class.
A theoretical presentation is made by an expert at the beginning of the month in which the student is to participate in the project. The basic notions are given to him/her. Then, the students are divided into teams of 5-6 students and choose a given theme on which they will work together for 2 to 3 weeks. The project consists in carrying out bibliographical research, having a meeting with a company, meeting with patients or professionals, doing research on Adhoc websites. The students have to make a presentation of their results at the end of the month of 10-15 minutes. This presentation is their exam mark.
