Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE TEACHING UNIT PROVIDES BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY FUNCTIONAL TO THE STUDY OF BIOCHEMISTRY. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND BASIC CHEMICAL LAWS, RECOGNIZE THE PROPERTIES OF THE MAIN INORGANIC CHEMICALS, DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS, PROPERTIES AND ASPECTS OF THE REACTIVITY OF THE PRINCIPAL CLASSES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT: AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVALUATE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE COURSE CONTENTS COMMUNICATION SKILLS: MUST BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IT WITH OTHERS, AND WORK AS A TEAM. LEARNING SKILLS: STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT AND USE THE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED WITH THOSE PROVIDED IN SUBSEQUENT COURSES (BIOCHEMISTRY, PHYSIOLOGY, ETC.)
Prerequisites
BASIC LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE
