Basic
CB6: Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7: That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB9: That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and the ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10: That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
General
CG1: Know how to apply the knowledge acquired to solve practical problems in the field of research and innovation in the multidisciplinary context of biological chemistry and molecular materials.
CG2: Know how to apply the scientific method and acquire skills in the elaboration of the necessary protocols for the design and critical evaluation of chemical experiments.
CG3: Be able to discuss and communicate their ideas, orally and in writing, to specialized and non-specialized audiences (conferences, etc.) in a clear and reasoned way.
CG5: Have the skills that allow you to develop a mode of study and autonomous learning.
CG8: Manage the advanced scientific bibliography of primary sources and acquire the necessary tools to develop their critical interpretation, with the ability to establish the state of the art ("state of the art") of novel thematic lines in the fields of biological chemistry and molecular materials.
Transversal
CT3: Work autonomously and efficiently in the daily practice of research or professional activity.
CT4: Apply the concepts, principles, theories or models related to Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials to new or little known environments, within multidisciplinary contexts.
CT5: Appreciate the value of quality and continuous improvement, acting with rigor, responsibility and professional ethics.
CT6: Be able to adapt to changes, being able to apply with initiative new and advanced technologies and other relevant developments.
CT7: Demonstrate critical and self-critical reasoning in search of quality and scientific rigor. Manage computer tools and information and communication technologies, as well as access to scientific databases, critically contextualising precedents in innovative research fields such as biological chemistry and / or the development of new materials.
Specific
CE1: Know the impact of chemistry, biological chemistry and molecular materials in industry, the environment, health, agri-food and renewable energy.
CE2: Be able to critically compare the experimental data and the theoretical hypotheses.
CE3: Know the rules on risk prevention in the laboratory and in the industry related to chemistry.
CE4: Understand and understand the chemical tools and analytical techniques used in biological chemistry and molecular materials.
CE5: Know how to analyze and use the data obtained autonomously in complex laboratory experiments relating them to the appropriate chemical, physical or biological techniques.
CE8: Acquire technical skills to carry out the structural characterization of molecules, biomolecules, supramolecules and nanoparticles and in the interpretation of experimental data obtained.
- Virtual classroom (Moodle). The course will have a virtual classroom that will include all the teaching support material for the course, calendars, links to pages of interest, etc. It will be the means to be used to carry out the final tests in scenario 3. This platform also contains discussion forums and internal mail, which provides excellent communication between teachers and students.
- MSTeams. The MSTeams platform will be used for telematic classes and in general for voice and video communications between students and teachers.
- Laboratory classes that allow the student to gain hands-on experience with the different spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques.
- Promotion of self-learning to develop the ability to analyze spectroscopic data.
- Interactive classes that encourage student participation to solve practical exercises of interpretation and spectroscopic data processing.
The evaluation process will not only serve to know if the student has acquired the programmed competences but also to review the teaching methodology.
- Written test on theoretical and practical basic contents of the subject.
- Continuous evaluation associated with active participation and autonomous learning.
- The acquisition of competences will be evaluated through the different systems: Examination: 50% -70%; Oral presentations: 15% -25%; Jobs / Activities: 15% -40%; Tutoring: 0% -10%. The student must pass a minimum of 4 points on the exam (score between 0-10) to pass the subject.
Formation activities:
Attendance: Theoretical face-to-face classes: 3 h; Seminars and practical classes of blackboard, 4 h; Timed tutorials, 1 h; Practical laboratory or computer classes, 16 h; Evaluation and / or exam, 3 h.
Non-contact: Preparation of tests and directed work 10 h; Study and personal work of the student, 35 h; Bibliographic searches and database utilization, 3 h.
