The study of Chemistry has historically been divided into large Areas of Knowledge, one of which is Inorganic Chemistry. This discipline is dedicated to the theoretical and experimental study of the properties, structure and reactivity of all the elements of the periodic table and their derived compounds.
For this reason, two of the main features of Inorganic Chemistry are, on the one hand, its great diversity and, on the other, its interdisciplinary nature. The relevance of this discipline goes beyond purely academic limits. Thus, a great variety of inorganic products are commonly used in everyday life, many of them involved in industrial and technological processes that decisively contribute to the development of society.
The subject "Chemistry of the Elements" is part of the field of INORGANIC CHEMISTRY. The subject is taught in the first semester of the second year and addresses the systematic study and synthesis of the elements and their main compounds.
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
There are no changes in the contents
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
All the methodologies are maintained.
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Thera are no modifications in the lecture and seminar methodologies, except that the learning platforms Moodle and Teams, or any other used by UDC, will be used, if face-to-face learning is impossible.
However, if “laboratory practice” classes can not be conducted in a face-to-face manner, on-line activities dedicated to the synthesis and characterization of elements and inorganic compouns will replace such classes. The remaining learning methodologies will be conducted using Moodle and Teams or similar learning platforms.
If during the ordinary face to face lectures the number of students exceeds the classroom capacity a “mirror class” will be arranged so the “students in excess” can attend the lecture live broadcasted through the Teams platform.
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
Email, Moodle or Teams (or another similar platform), at the request of students. During the activities that replace the lab sessions, at least a compulsory tutorial will be held using Teams.
4. Modifications in the evaluation
There are no modifications in the evaluation methodologies or percentages assigned to them.
*Evaluation observations
No changes in the assessment methodology are foreseen except that the different evaluation activities will be taken by using Moodle, Teams or any other learning platform used by the UDC.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy
There are no modifications to the literature resources referenced in Moodel and the teaching guide. However, the material available in Moodle and attendance to the different learning activities will suffice to pass the subjet.
(*)The teaching guide is the document in which the URV publishes the information about all its courses. It is a public document and cannot be modified. Only in exceptional cases can it be revised by the competent agent or duly revised so that it is in line with current legislation.
