The assistance to the ICT practical is a necessary requirement for passing the course.
The final grade will be based on your performances in the all activities. The exam will make up 70%, ICT practicals 10%, and workshop 20%. The exam should reach a minimum score of 5 out of 10. The scores obtained on the practicals and workshop classes will be preserved to the "second opportunity" of an academic course. Those students participating in less than a 75% of the planned activities will obtain an assesment of "not attended".

Students evaluated in the "second chance" shall be eligible for "class honors" if the maximum number of those marks for the corresponding course has not been fully covered in the "first opportunity".

Part-time dedication students with academic waiver exempting assistance, will be provided with a flexible schedule according with coordination time-table, available material and human resources. The remaining activities (seminars and workshop) will be evaluated in the final written test.

Part-time dedication students unable to attend the ICT practicals, will be evaluated with complemetary questions about the laboratory practices in the final writing test. This part will acoount for the 10% of the final grade.

Methodologies	Description
Mixed objective/subjective test	A final exam will be introduced at the end of the semester. This is planned to objectively asses the degree of understanding by the student, as well as the ability to apply the course contents. This test will include a single type of questions (related to the structure, structural elucidation, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds), in order to determine whether the answers are correct or not.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The teacher presents the basic contents of each unit. These materials will be provided in advance to the students in order to study them before the development of the class. This methodology is intended to the whole group.
ICT practicals	Practicals will be mainly focused on two aspects: 1. The use of software tools for the three-dimensional representation of organic compounds, and the application of such tools on solving stereochemistry and conformational analysis problems. 2. The structural elucidation of organic compounds by means of proton NMR with the support of software for the simulation of spectra.
Workshop	The teacher will assign students the preparation of some problems, that would require the integration of contents from different subjects. Then, students should study the problems and prepare a solution in writing, which must be submitted to the teacher prior to the development of this activities in the classroom. During the classes, students will present orally some of the problems assigned, and will have to answer to issues that may arise in this regard.
