|---|---|
| THE COURSE PROVIDES THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE STRUCTURE OF MATTER, FROM ATOMS TO MOLECULES, AND ON THE THERMODYNAMIC AND KINETIC PRINCIPLES WHICH GOVERN THE CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT IS EXPECTED TO KNOW AND USE THE SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY FOR THE FULL UNDERSTANDING AND DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURAL PHENOMENA; TO HAVE LOGICAL THINKING SKILL; TO HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE IN CHEMISTRY THAT ALLOWS THE CONTINUATION OF THE STUDY IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC MATHS AND PHYSICS AS PROVIDED IN A REGULAR COURSE OF HIGH SCHOOL |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED IN LESSONS (8CFU; 64H) SUPPORTED BY THE SLIDE SHOW IN WHICH THE SUBJECT OF THE PROGRAM IS DISCUSSED AND PRESENTED USING THE EXPERIMENTAL SCIENTIFIC APPROACH (GALILEAN METHOD). PRACTICE IN PROBLEM SOLVING (2 CFU; 24H) WILL HELP THE STUDENTS TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS; THE USE OF STOICHIOMETRIC COEFFICIENTS OF THE REACTION; ASSESSMENT OF THE THERMODYNAMIC EVOLUTION OF THE PROCESSES. ASSESSMENT OF THE STUDENT'S PRESENCE IN THE CLASSROOM IS NOT FORESEEN. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ASSESSMENT AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND IN THE SUPPLEMENTARY SESSIONS INCLUDES A WRITTEN TEST FOLLOWED BY THE ORAL EXAM. THE ADMISSION TO THE ORAL EXAM IS ALLOWED ONLY TO THE STUDENTS WHO PASSED THE WRITTEN TEXT PROVIDING THE CORRECT SOLUTION TO, AT LEAST, 3 PROBLEMS (QUESTIONS) OF SIX IN 2H. THE WRITTEN TEST INCLUDES PROBLEMS (QUESTIONS) RELATED TO THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED IN THE LESSONS. THE ORAL EXAM CONSISTS OF A DISCUSSION (20 MIN) ON THE MAIN SUBJECTS OF THE PROGRAM AND AIMS TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF MATTER AND THE LAWS GOVERNING THE CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. THE FINAL EVALUATION IS EXPRESSED WITH MARKS (18- 30 PTS) AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE WRITTEN TEST (50%) AND ORAL EXAM (50%). |
