The assistance to the ICT practicals is an essential requirement to pass the course. To pass the subject it is necessary to obtain in the mixed test a note equal to or greater than 5. Therefore, students with a global grade equal to or greater
than 5 who have not reached the qualification of 5 in the mixed test will be
graded as not pass (grade of 4.5). Students who have not completed the practicals and have not carried out the mixed test will get the No Presented qualification.

The qualifications of the laboratory practicals and the workshops will be maintained at the second opportunity. Therefore,
in the second opportunity students will take only the mixed test,
whose qualification will replace the one obtained in the mixed test of the
first opportunity. The students evaluated in the second opportunity will only be
eligible for the Honored Grade (Matrícula de Honor) if the maximum number of
these for the corresponding course has not been covered in full at the
first opportunity.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication
will be evaluated with the criteria listed above.

Students with special academic permission could be exempted
from the workshops attendance (15% of the overall grade) and could be
evaluated by means of ICT practicals and
the mixed test, both in the first and second opportunity. For those
students who took advantage of the workshop attendance waiver, the mixed test
will contribute to 90% of the overall score. The attendance to the ICT practicals is mandatory to pass the subject and it will be facilitated within the flexibility
that the coordination schedules and the material and human resources available
can offer. In the case of exceptional, objectivable and adequately justified
circumstances, the QO1 coordinator could exempt a student from attending the
process of continuous evaluation of ICT practicals. The student who is in
this circumstance must pass a specific examination (corresponding to 100% of
the grade) precluding any doubt about the achievement of the knowledge, skills
and competences of the subject.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The teacher will present the fundamental contents of each subject that will be previously provided to the students in order to prepare them on their own before the class. With the help of these materials and other bibliographic resources, students must prepare the lessons before the lectures. The participation of the students will be encouraged, with the intention that questions will be asked during the lesson (or before or afterwards by e-mail)
Seminar	Sessions dedicated to solving problems and questions with an active participation of the student. Problems to be resolved will be available on Moodle platform before the seminars. Students must work on the problems before the seminars.
Workshop	The workshops are work sessions organized in small groups. The teacher will assign the students the preparation of some problems, which may require the integration of contents from different units. Students must prepare and hand in solutions for the assigned problems before the workshops. During the workshop sessions the students will present the problems and answer the questions that arise.
ICT practicals	Practicals will be fundamentally focused on two aspects: (1) the two and/or three-dimensional representation of organic compounds through the use of computational tools, aimed at the analysis and resolution of stereochemistry problems; (2) the structural determination of organic compounds based on 1H NMR with the support of spectra simulation programs.
Mixed objective/subjective test	In order to evaluate the knowledge and the ability to apply the subject contents by the student, a mixed test is scheduled. The test will include questions and problems analogous to those solved in the seminar and workshop sessions during the course, related to nomenclature, structure, structural determination, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds.

ICT practicals	A6 A9 A21 B2 B4 C3	The participation in the practicals will contribute with a 5% to the evaluation. The students will prepare a final report on the exercises of the practices that will contribute with another 5% to the evaluation.	10
Workshop	A1 A4 A6 A9 A10 B4 B2 C1	The quality of the written solutions that had been handed in in advance will be evaluated, as well as the participation during the workshops by means of the formulation of questions or answers. During the presentation of the problems, the use of the appropriate nomenclature for compounds and reactions, the clarity and specification of the explanations and the answers to the questions that arise will be evaluated.	15

We highly recommend as main sources of information the books: Wade 2004 and Vollhardt, 2007. We also recommend the reading of the main subjects of each topic, as preparation to the teacher's keynote lectures.
