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 |
At the end of each topic there will be seminars where exercises will be solved. The exercises to be solved will be available on the subject website (moodle) prior to the development of the seminars. Students must work on the problems of the bulletins prior to the development of the seminars. The resolution of a moodle questionnaire and the use of the BACON platform will be proposed.
|
Workshop |
The workshops are work sessions organized in intermediate groups. In these activities, exercises related to the contents of each topic will be proposed. Students must complete the indicated exercises before the start of each workshop. Students will also be asked to answer or go to the board to solve some of the exercises proposed. During this time two written tasks will be performed. |
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. |

Description |
1. Students will have the assistance from the teacher to resolve any doubts that may arise from the study of contents, the preparation of the report in the laboratory practices, and the written solutions to the problems to be presented in the workshops. Personalized attention will be also supported by e-mail.
2. Students in part-time study regime will have to contact the coordinator in the first week of the course, to replace the face-to-face regime with other types of qualifying activities. These activities will be indicated in an individual work plan that will be delivered to the student. |

Assessment comments |
1.The fraudulent carrying out of the tests or evaluation activities will
directly imply the qualification suspense (0) in the subject and in the
corresponding opportunity, invalidating any qualification obtained in
all the activities of evaluation. 2. Carrying out the laboratory practices is mandatory to pass the course. 3. To pass the course, it will be necessary to
obtain a minimum score of 5.0 in the set of evaluable activities, and a minimum
score of 4.0 in the mixed test. 4. The final grade obtained by the student will
never be less than that resulting from adding the exam grade (85%) and
practicals (15%). 5. The not attended grade will be applied to students
who have participated in scheduled assessable activities that represent less
than 30% of the final evaluation. 6. The grades of the labs and the 1st chance
workshops will be kept on the 2nd chance. Therefore, in the 2nd opportunity,
students can only take a mixed test, whose grade will replace the one obtained
in the mixed test of the 1st opportunity. 7. Students evaluated on the 2nd opportunity
may only opt for the Honors assesment if the maximum number of these for the
corresponding course has not been fully covered on the 1st opportunity. 8. Students with a recognition of part-time
work or academic exemption of attendance exemption will be evaluated through
laboratory practices (15%) and the mixed test (85%). 9. The evaluation in the advanced call of
December will be carried out in accordance with the criteria of the current
course.

Other comments |
1. To be able to take the subject with success it is
convenient to have taken the course of Organic Chemistry 1 that is taught in
the first semester. 2. 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 are recommended to be followed in the same term. Green Campus Science Faculty Program. To contribute to achieving an immediate sustainable environment and comply with point 6 of the "Environmental Declaration of the Faculty of Sciences (2020)", the documentary work carried out in this area:
A. They will be requested mainly in virtual format and computer support. B. To carry out on paper: - Plastics will not be used.
- Double-sided prints will be made.
- Recycled paper will be used.
- Drafts will be avoided. |
