| 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. |
| Seminar |
Sessions devoted to the resolution of problems and questions related to the course contents, with the active participation of students. 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. |
