a) Large Group Lectures (lectures, 30 hours per student): Aimed primarily at the exhibition by the teacher of the theoretical foundations of the subject illustrated with examples and / or representative exercises, which substantially conform to the two manuals reference listed in the bibliography basic recommended (paragraph 4.2.1 of this guide.) The teacher will teach these classes with the help of audiovisual and computer, you will use in particular to submit additional information incorporating tables, formulas and reaction schemes prepared with appropriate software. The USC virtual platform is used to support and complement the theoretical and practical teaching as an important element of communication with the student.
b) interactive small group classes (seminars; 14 hours per student): Class theory and practice in which we propose and solve applications of theory, problems, exercises ... The student must actively participate in these classes, essentially by solving exercises in the classroom. Attendance at seminars is mandatory.
c) Tutorials slate in very small groups (10 students per class, 2 hours per student): is devoted to the resolution of questions and exercises. Attendance at tutorials is compulsory.
d) Laboratory practical classes (20 students per group 10 hours per student): Students will be trained in the rules and safety measures in the appropriate record of the operations and experiments in the laboratory notebook and in the implementation experimental procedures involving basic operations of organic chemistry. Further consolidate the knowledge acquired in the lectures. Attendance at laboratory classes is mandatory practices.
Besides the texts of Practice recommended in section 4.2.2 of this guide, the student will have additional information about working in an organic chemistry lab, in particular the safety aspects and a dash of each one of the practices to be done.
1. The student's overall grade in the subject, a total of 10 points is the sum of that obtained in the continuous assessment and final examination, according to the following pattern:
- Continuous assessment of student participation in the seminars will contribute a maximum of 1.5 points, 15% of the final grade,
- Assessment of their lab work will contribute a maximum of 1.0 points, 10% of the final grade, and
- The theory test consists of a final review of all matter, will contribute a maximum of 7.5 points, 75% of the final grade. The theoretical test will be divided in two parts (unit 1-6 and 7-12), the students should obtain a minimum of 1.5 points in each part. If the student does not reach the mínimum grade in the global final exam (or in any of its parts), the continuous evaluation part will not be added.
2. The interactive class attendance is mandatory.
3. Laboratory exercises are mandatory; if the student fails them, their grade for the course will be a fail. The laboratory exam will contribute a maximum of 0.8 points to the 1.0 point assigned to laboratory exercises in the total course grade. The remaining points (0.2) can be obtained by the student by submitting a correctly completed laboratory notebook (required to pass the laboratory exercises), the student's attitude, and the resolution of certain questions before and after the laboratory exercises. Passing the laboratory exercises in a given academic year will be valid for all exam sessions in that academic year and the exam sessions of the two academic years following it. If the student does not pass the course in the exam sessions for the subject in which the laboratory exercises were passed or in the two academic years following that year, the student must repeat and pass the laboratory exercises.
4. The continuous assessment note can be maintained for repeating students who so wish during the following two academic years.
In the second grade the student is entitled (the month of July) will be considered only in theory (and therefore a maximum of 7.5 out of 10), and the ratings it has achieved so much in seminars and in practice is kept to when computing the final grade.
5. If, exceptionally, the student is excused from attending class, he or she will have to complete and pass the laboratory practices. In this case, the student will be evaluated with the practice grade (maximum 1 pt.) and the final exam grade (9 pts.).
Hours:
Theory: 30
Interactive (seminars): 14
Interactive (labs): 10
Work Hours: 90
Hours of tutoring: 2
Assessment hours: 4
Total workload: 150 hours.
The student should:
- Show an open and unbiased toward the subject, analyzing objectively the relevance of it in the context of their professional and comprehensive.
- To engage actively in the process of learning and training and to make the most of their effort and "enjoying" the discovery of organic chemistry.
- Attend all classes, a factor over the years has proved critical to good use, efficient training and obtaining a positive assessment in the subject.
- Study the field steadily.
- Solve intensively additional exercises to those suggested by teachers throughout the course, so essentially individual but also in groups, for this we recommend the use of collections of exercises done in self-assessment guides and student guides that accompany the texts of Organic Chemistry.
- Use on an ongoing molecular models, software tools and the Virtual Classroom.
- Purchase own molecular models, which should lead to tests, and a gown and goggles laboratory personnel, which should lead to practical laboratory classes.
- Prepare thoroughly each laboratory activities prior to its conclusion.
- Have and see your (s) teacher (s) university, which are primarily interested in students to achieve excellence in their training.
