Students are familiarised, through theoretical and practical training, with the use of various software for the presentation of scientific data, bibliographic research, analysis and visualisation of data in chemistry. This training is designed to be of direct assistance in data processing, writing laboratory reports, making posters and visual aids for oral presentations, and this as early as the Block 2 year.
By the end of this Teaching Unit, the students will be able to :
1- Promptly answer a scientific question, similar to the examples provided during the computer labs and courses, using a software practiced during the labs, addressing the criteria listed during the courses and labs;
2- Transforme data, identify and interpret a straight line equation, carry out linear regressions;
3- Cite criteria related to (i) plagiarism detection, (ii) on-line bibliography search tool selection, (iii) graphs, tables, posters, slides, equations construction, (iv) citation validation;
4- Rigourously present a scientific document showing good text, tables, figures, equations, bibliography layout, using softwares seen during the labs;
5- Carry out, right to the point, a bibliographic search on a given subject following criteria explained during the courses/formations and constraints (keyword selection, search tool, logical query, source validation, citations);
6- Cite, following the criteria taught during the courses/formations, a list of references (journal articles, books, webpage, etc.), and correct uncomplete or erroneous citations.

The examination is compulsory in January. It may consist, in the first instance, of a short written part which takes place on closed computers and which may cover the whole subject (software and online information retrieval). The student is then asked to solve one or more problems on the computer (related to the whole subject), and this work may be the subject of some oral questions. Based on an exam question and the student's behaviour in relation to the practical sessions, the work of the year (on-site or home practical sessions) is taken into account. All assignments must have been submitted according to the instructions given by the holder/assistant. The final grade is the weighted average of the "software" (40%), "online information retrieval" (40%) and "practical work" (20%) parts. However, if one (or more) of the marks is less than 50% of its maximum value, the final mark will be a maximum of 9/20.
Where appropriate, suggested and/or recommended readings are announced during the course.
