Basic and general skills.
CG2 - To identify information from the scientific literature using the appropriate means and to integrate this information to raise and to contextualize a research topic.
CG5 - To use scientific terminology in the English language to argue experimental results in the context of the chemical profession. CG8 - To assess the human, economic, legal and technical dimension in professional practice, as well as the impact of chemistry on the environment and on the sustainable development of society.
CB6 - To possess and to 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 - To know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB8 - To be able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and social and ethical judgments
CB9 - To know how to communicate the conclusions and the latest knowledge and reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
Cross-cutting competences. CT1 - Prepare, write and publicly defend scientific and technical reports. CT3 - Work autonomously and efficiently in the daily practice of research or professional activity. CT4 - Appreciate the value of quality and continuous improvement, acting with rigor, responsibility and professional ethics. Specific competences. CE1 - Define concepts, principles, theories and specialized facts of the different areas of Chemistry. CE2 - Propose alternatives for solving complex chemical problems of the different chemical specialties.
CE4 - Innovate in the methods of synthesis and chemical analysis related to the different areas of Chemistry.
CE8 - Analyze and use the data obtained autonomously in complex laboratory experiments, relating them to the appropriate chemical, physical or biological techniques, and including the use of primary bibliographic sources.
MD1. Theoretical face-to-face classes. Master classes (use of blackboard, computer, cannon), complemented with the tools of virtual teaching.
MD3. Seminars held with teachers from the Master, or with invited professionals from the company, the administration or other universities. Interactive sessions related to different subjects with debates and exchange of views.
MD4. Solving practical exercises (problems, test questions, interpretation and processing of information, evaluation of scientific publications, etc.).
MD5. Individual or small group tutoring.
MD10. Personal study based on different sources of information.
MD11. Carrying out the different tests to verify the acquisition of both theoretical and practical knowledge and the acquisition of skills and attitudes.
A continuous assesment system will be applied in which active participation and improvement will be taken into account throughout the course.
Distribution of the rating
(a) Final exam: 55%
(b) Work done in the seminars (problem solving and practical cases, delivery of exercises): 35%. The seminars will consist of solving proposed exercises or commenting on proposed scientific articles. The tasks to develop in the seminars will be proposed in advance and must be delivered by each student or will be evaluated at the beginning of the corresponding seminar by means of a written test.
(c) Attendance to the theoretical and interactive classes: 10%
The evaluation of the skills acquired in the subject will be carried out through the following routes:
-Final exam: CB8, CE1, CE2, CE4
-Work done in the seminars: CG2; CG5, CG8, CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CT1, CT3, CT4, CE1, CE2, CE4
Distribution of the training activity in 3 ECTS credits:
Classroom work:
-Master classes in large group: 12 hours.
-Interactive small group classes (Seminars): 7 hours.
-Tutoring: 2 hours.
Total hours of classroom work: 21 hours.
Personal work:
-Individual or group study: 36 hours.
-Preparation of tests and works: 18 hours.
Total hours of student personal work: 54 hours.
Total: 75 hours.
To successfully follow this course, students must have a basic understanding of Coordination Chemistry as well as notions of the bond theories used to describe the coordination compounds, and they also should know basic methods used to characterize these compounds.
Besides:
-It is very important to attend the master classes.
-It is essential to keep studying the subject up to date.
-Problem solving is a key factor to learning this subject.
Classes will be taught in Spanish / Galician.
