Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
In the first class it will take place a general presentation of the course: objectives, contents and organization of matter. In later sessions the basics of instrumentation, calibration, and mass spectrometry fundamentals will be explained. |
Seminar |
General aspects of the use of the techniques of structural determination. |
Workshop |
Use of simulation programs and resolution of practical cases of structural determination. Proposed problems will be solved by developing strategies that integrate the different spectroscopic techniques for structural elucidation. Prior to the development of some sessions, students will work out writing solutions for some of the proposed problems. |
Laboratory practice |
Experiences involving the combination of various procedures and experimental techniques will be conducted (preparation, separation, structural determination, determination of basic physicochemical properties...). The student will carry out the scheduled experiments, and laboratory reports will be performed, including collected data and their discussion, as well as answers to proposed questions to achieve a deep understanding of the experiments. |
Practical test: |
A practical test will be performed in the laboratory, including the solution of questions about practical subjects. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Mixed test will consist of questions and problems to solve related to the topic of the lectures, workshops / seminars taught (structure determination) |

Assessment comments |
Attendance to all the sessions is mandatory. The final grade is obtained as the sum of the score on each part: workshop, laboratory practice and tests. To pass the course a minimum score of 5,0 (out of a possible 10) is required, with the restriction that a minimum of 4.0 (out of a possible
10) in both tests (mixed objective and practical) is mandatory. If the total sum value was
equal to or greater than 5 (out of 10) but this threshold mark was not met, the final mark will be 4.5 (fail). Students who failed the practical test should be repeated in June opportunity.
Any student who has attended 51% or more of sessions (workshops / seminars + lab) will be assessed. Regarding the second opportunity of evaluation, the qualifications of the proofs of July will substitute to the obtained in the test of June. The qualification of the workshops could be conserved in the opportunity of July or, in an alternative way, in the final part of the mixed test of July, the students could realize an evaluable exercise, with activities analogous to those developed in the workshops during the course. The qualifications of the labs obtained at the first opportunity will be retained for the second assessment opportunity. Students who failed the practical test should be repeated in the second July opportunity.
The students tested in the second chance only choose the honors if the maximum number of these to the corresponding course has not been fully covered at the first opportunity.
The teaching-learning process, including assessment, refers to a full academic year, and therefore will start a new academic year, including all activities and evaluation procedures that are planned for the course.
