Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Laboratory practice The student will perform experimental procedures in the laboratory related with the theoretical contents of the matters Organic Chemistry 1 and Organic Chemistry 2, and will adquire skills in the preparation, separation, purification and structural determination of organic compounds. During the practices the student will have to elaborate a written report of the laboratory work, describing the stoichiometric calculations, reaction and work-out procedures, interpretation of the spectral data and answers to the questions posed in the scripts.
Guest lecture / keynote speech In this activity, the contents of the subject will be presented by the teacher stimulating the student participation. Students should prepare before classes according to the teacher's instructions.
Seminar In the sessions of seminar the students will participate actively in the analysis and the resolution of the problems. The bulletins of problems to resolve will be available in the web (moodle) prior to the development of 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 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

Description
The student will have the help of the professor for the resolution of the doubts that pose him during the study of the contents and in the preparation of the reports of laboratory and workshops.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Workshop A4 A6 A9 A10 A14 A15 A21 B2 B3 B4 B7 C1 The attendance to the workshops, participation and quality of the oral exposures and written reports will be evaluated. Special attention should be paid to the employment of the nomenclature for the functional groups and reaction processes 15
Laboratory practice A1 A9 A17 A19 A20 A23 A26 B3 B4 B7 C1 The activities programed in the lab are mandatory to pass the course. Its assessment will be performed taking into account the attitude to learning, the experimental work done in the lab and the laboratory notebook. 15
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A4 A6 A9 A10 A14 A15 A21 B3 B2 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. 70
 
Assessment comments

The attendance to all the activities is mandatory to pass the course. Overall, each student should obtain in the final exam a mark not less than 4 and get, combining scores of all activities, a minimum of 5 out of 10. Students with a combined mark of 5 or higher that would have not reached a mark of 4 in the final test will not pass the course, and will recive a final mark of 4,5. Students participating in a number of assessment activities not exceeding 15% may qualify as a No Show (No presentado).

Regarding the second opportunity of evaluation, the qualification of the test of July will substitute to that obtained in June. The qualification corresponding to the practices of laboratory and workshops could be conserved for the opportunity of July or, in an alternative way, during the final part of the test in July, the students could perform an evaluable exercise, with activities analogous to those developed in the workshops during the course. The students evaluated on the second occasion can only obtain de highest
qualification (Matricula de Honor) if the maximum number has not been
fully covered during the first opportunity.

By what refers to the successive academic courses, the teaching-learning process, including the assessment, is referred to an unique academic course, and the qualifications will not be saved for future academic years.

In addition to the recommended literature, the majority of the books of  Organic Chemistry are useful to follow the contents of the matter. Before of the development of the lessons, the download and the print of the presentations available in moodle is strongly recommended to the students, as well as take notes of the explanations of the professor on the said material during the lessons.

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
