The lab work is mandatory to pass the course. Overall, each student should obtain in the final exam a mark not less than 40% and get, combining scores of all activities, a minimum of 5 out of 10. Students participating in a number of assessment activities not exceeding 15% may qualify as a No Show (No presentado). The students evaluated on the second occasion can only obtain de highest qualification (Matricula de Honor) if the maximum number has not been fully covered during the first opportunity.

The qualification during the lab work, seminars and workshops (30% of the assessment) will be retained in the second opportunity (to be performed in July). Regarding future academic years, the teaching-learning process, including assessment is referred to an unique academic course ( qualifications are not saved for future academic years).

Methodologies	Description
Laboratory practice	The student will perform experiments at the laboratory related with the synthesis purification and isolation of organic compounds.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	In this activity, the contents of the subject will be presented by the teacher stimulating the student participation. Students should prepare before classes according to the teacher's instructions.
Seminar	The seminars will be devoted to the resolution and discussion of selected exercises related to the contents of the subject.
Workshop	For the continuing learning, workshops will be organized in small groups. In these sessions key issues and exercises will be discussed. The students will have the opportunity to aske and to clarify doubts.
Mixed objective/subjective test	In order to evaluate the knowledge and skills acquired a written test is programed at the end of the course. This test will identify issues and questions concerning the contents of the subject.
