BASIC AND GENERAL COMPETENCES:
CB6- Possess and understand the knowledge that provides a basis or an opportunity for being creative and unique in the development and/or implementation of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7- Students should know how to use the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving capacity in new or little known environments within wider (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
CG1- Know how to use the knowledge acquired for practical problem solving 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 for developing the necessary protocols for the design and critical assessment of chemical experiments.
CG3- Be able to discuss and communicate ideas, in both oral and written form, to specialised and non-specialised audiences (congresses, conferences, etc.) in a clear and reasoned way.
CG5- Have the skills that allow students to develop an autonomous method for studying and learning.
CG8- Be able to use scientific literature and develop the judgement needed for its interpretation and use.
TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES:
CT2- Draft scientific and technical reports and defend them publicly.
CT5- Appreciate the value of good quality and continuous improvement by acting rigorously, responsibly and ethically.
CT7- Show critical and self-critical reasoning when seeking scientific rigour and quality. Handle IT tools and information and communication technology (ICT), as well as on-line access to databases.
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES:
CE2- Be capable of comparing experimental data and theoretical assumptions in a critical manner.
CE17- Be able to establish relationships between structure and reactivity.
- Interactive classes encouraging student participation.
- Combined use of computer and blackboard methods.
- Use of fast and anonymous response methods in class (clickers) to know the degree of follow-up of the subject.
- Promotion of self-learning of the student proposing challenges and posing questions.
- Resolution of practical exercises (problems, test type questions, interpretation and processing of information, evaluation of scientific publications, etc.).
