BASIC AND GENERAL
CG2 - That they are able to gather and interpret relevant data, information and results, obtain conclusions and issue reasoned reports on scientific, technological or other issues that require the use of knowledge of Chemistry.
CG3 - That they can apply both the theoretical-practical knowledge acquired as well as the capacity for analysis and abstraction in the definition and approach of problems and in the search for their solutions both in academic and professional contexts.
CG4 - That they have the ability to communicate, both in writing and orally, knowledge, procedures, results and ideas in Chemistry to both a specialized and non-specialized public.
CG5 - That they are able to study and learn autonomously, with the organization of time and resources, new knowledge and techniques in any scientific or technological discipline.
TRANSVERSAL
CT6 - Carry out teamwork.
CT8 - Be able to work in an international context.
CT9 - Skills in interpersonal relationships.
CT10 - Critical reasoning.
CT11 - Ethical commitment.
SPECIFIC
CE4 - Main types of chemical reaction and their main associated characteristics.
CE11 - Relationship between macroscopic properties and properties of individual atoms and molecules: including macromolecules (natural and synthetic), polymers, colloids and other materials.
CE12 - Structure and reactivity of the main classes of biomolecules and the chemistry of the main biological processes.
CE13 - Ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the essential facts, concepts, principles and theories related to the areas of Chemistry.
CE16 - Evaluation, interpretation and synthesis and Chemical data and information.
Face-to-face master classes:
• With the help of computer projections for the presentation of the contents of the theoretical program. They will have previously the material of use in the classes.
Face-to-face seminars in which:
• Online questionnaires will be launched to answer some individually and others as a team.
• Exercises and problems or bulletin questions previously available through the Aula Virtual will be solved and discussed, which will be evaluated and will contribute to the continuous evaluation.
Tutorials in very small groups where possible doubts raised by the students will be resolved.
• There will be 4 written controls, one at the end of each topic, each of approximately 10 multiple choice questions and 2 short-answer questions.
They will also have questionnaires for online self-assessment through the Aula Virtual.
• Final exam, which will consist of 20 multiple-choice questions and 6 short-answer questions.
Evaluation by means of:
1) Continuous evaluation: marks of the participations in the resolution of the exercises and questions of the seminars and of the 4 controls, with a total value of 4 points in the final mark, 1 point for each one of the topics.
2) Final exam of the ordinary opportunity, with a value of 6 points.
If the sum of the points obtained in 1) and 2) is 5 or higher, the subject is passed.
Students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary opportunity will keep the continuous evaluation grade and may take the recovery opportunity (via final exam) similar to that of the ordinary opportunity.
In any of the opportunities, the student's grade will not be lower than the final exam or the one obtained by calculating 1) + 2).
Throughout the course the following skills are evaluated:
Interactive classes: CG2, CG3, CG4, CT6, CT8, CT9, CT10, CT11, CE13, CE16.
Continuous assessment controls and final exam: CG4, CG5, CT10, CE4, CE11, CE12, CE13 and CE16.
For cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the review of grades" will apply.
Classroom work 38.5 hours:
Lecture classes 28 h
Interactive classes (seminars) 6 h
Tutorials 2h
Exam and review 2,5h
Student's personal work 74h
• Attendance at all teaching activities.
• Participation in the corresponding classes, responding orally, in writing or through mobile devices online to the issues/questions, exercises and/or tasks proposed by the teacher.
• Make summaries/outlines or scripts that synthesize the important content of each of the topics, trying to combine and relate the different aspects that are explained.
• Perform self-assessment tests of content understanding. The student will have online questionnaires via Moodle through the Virtual Classroom for each of the topics for their own self-assessment.
• Bring the subject up to date and use the tutorials to resolve doubts.
