Description |
Laboratory practice |
The student will perform experimental procedures in the laboratory related with the theoretical contents of Organic Chemistry 1 and Organic Chemistry 2, and will acquire skills in the preparation, separation, purification and structural determination of organic compounds. During the practices the student will elaborate a written report of the laboratory work, describing the stoichiometric calculations, reaction and work-out procedures, interpretation of the spectroscopic data and answers to the questions posed in the scripts. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
In this master sessions, the teacher will develop the basic contents of the program through theoretical explanations and practical examples. The outlined contents and/or the presentations will be available in the web of Organic Chemistry web site (moodle) before lessons. With the helping materials and other bibliographic resources, the students must prepare the lessons prior to the teacher’s lecture. Participation will be encouraged, thru questions or e-mails before or after the lesson. |
Seminar |
In the seminar sessions both students and teacher, will actively contribute in the analysis and resolution of the problems. Problems to be solved will be available in the web site (moodle) before seminar sessions. Students must work on the problems prior to the seminars. |
Workshop |
The workshops constitute sessions of work organised in reduced groups of students. In these sessions the students will perform oral exposures (with graphic support in the blackboard or by means of a presentation) over specific problems of the bulletins, on which they will have previously written a short report, that should be delivered to the professor at the begining of the sessions |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
In order to evaluate the knowledge and acquired skills, a written test is scheduled in accordance with the Faculty calendar. In this test the students will have to resolve questions and problems related to the subjects worked on class. Problems will be similar to those postured during the seminars, workshops and laboratory practices. |

Mixed objective/subjective test |
A1 A4 A6 A9 A10 A15 A21 B2 B3 C1 |
In order to evaluate the knowledge and skills acquired during the course, a written test is programed in accordance with the calendar of the Centre. In this test the students will have to resolve questions and problems on the contents of the matter, that will be analogous to those posed during the seminars, workshops and laboratory practices. |

Assessment comments |
The assistance to the laboratory practices is a necessary requirement for passing the course. Participation in continuous evaluation activities (laboratory practices and workshops) is compulsory. For this reason, all the students will be graded in all activities with the flexibility that thecoordination schedules and the material and human resources allow. Students who have not attended at least 75% of the workshops will receive a grade of 0 in that section (15% of the overall qualification). Students who have done the laboratory practices but do not reached the qualification of 5 may perform, as part of the mixed test, a specific test related to laboratory practices. The qualification of this specific test will replace the qualification obtained in the laboratory practices to calculate the overall qualification. To pass Organic Chemistry 2, it is necessary to obtainin the mixed test and in the laboratory practices a note equal to or greater than 5. Therefore, for students with a global grade equal to or greater than 5 whohave not reached the qualification of 5 in both the practices and the mixed test, will be grades as not pass (grade of 4.5). Students who have not performed the practices and have not submitted to the mixed test will receive the unpresented qualification. The qualifications of the laboratory practices and the workshops of the first opportunity will be preserved at the 2nd opportunity. Therefore, in the second opportunity students will be able to perform only a mixed test, whose qualification will replace the one obtained in the mixed test of the first opportunity. The students evaluated in the second opportunitywill only be eligible for the Honored Grade (Matrícula de Honor) if the maximum number of thesegrades for the corresponding course has not been covered in full at the 1stopportunity. Part-time dedication students with recognition of or specific learning modalities or diversity support will be assessedthrough laboratory practices and mixed testing (workshop attendance Waiver,corresponding to 15 % of the global qualification). Therefore, in the 1st and 2nd opportunity, theworkshops will be evaluated through the mixed test, which will represent 85% ofthe overall qualification. The assistance to the laboratory practicers is a necessary requirement for passing the course. Therefore, the implementation of laboratory practices shall be facilitated as far as possible within the flexibility of coordination schedules and material and human resources. In the case of exceptional, objective and adequately justified circumstances, the Organic Chemistry 2 coordinator could exempt a student in whole or in part from attending the process of continuousevaluation of laboratory practices. The student who is in this circumstance must pass a specific examination that does not leave any doubt about the achievement of the knowledge, skillsand competences of the subject (corresponding to 100% of the qualification).

Other comments |
The contents and the competencies to be adquired in the laboratory of Organic Chemistry 2 and in Laboratory of Chemistry are closely
related, and both courses should be followed in the same term. |
