|---|---|
| EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS AND COMPETENCE TO BE ACQUIRED: STUDY, UNDERSTANDING AND RATIONALIZATION OF CHEMICAL PHENOMENA, STRUCTURING OF MATTER AND ITS PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. THE LEARNING OUTCOMES INCLUDE DEVELOPING AN ATOMISTIC VISION OF SUBSTANCES AND ACQUIRING SKILLS TO CONNECT MACROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS WITH THE ATOMISTIC VISION OF REACTIONS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING CAPACITIES: KNOWLEDGE OF DESCRIPTIVE TERMINOLOGY AND OF THE METHODOLOGICAL-APPLICATIVE ASPECTS OF CHEMICAL PHENOMENA AND MATTER'S STRUCTURE AND TRANSFORMATIONS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING CAPACITIES: ABILITY TO APPLY THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND CALCULATION METHODOLOGIES ACQUIRED TO THE SOLUTION OF BASIC OR ROUTINE PROBLEMS OF BASIC CHEMISTRY. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: KNOWING HOW TO APPROPRIATELY DESCRIBE MACROSCOPIC CHEMICAL PHENOMENA IN ATOMISTIC TERMS AND KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE APPROPRIATE CALCULATION METHODOLOGIES FOR NUMERICALLY BASIC PROBLEMS OF BASIC CHEMISTRY. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: KNOWING HOW TO PRESENT ORALLY, ALSO USING GRAPHIC SCHEMES AND CALCULATION EXAMPLES WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO THE TOPICS COVERED. ABILITY TO LEARN: KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND KNOWING HOW TO UPDATE IT INDEPENDENTLY |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| REQUIRED KNOWLEDGES: FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS WHICH CAN BE ACQUIRED AT HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. PREREQS: NONE. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (33 HOURS = 3,3 CFU) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (27 HOURS = 2,7 CFU). DURING THE EXERCISES, STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO STOICHIOMETRY. THE RESOLUTION METHOD CONSISTS OF UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM, SCHEDULING THE SOLUTION, AND FINALLY RESOLUTION. THIS LAST PHASE PROMOTES THE ABILITY OF EVALUATING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE RESPONSE AND OF VERIFYING CONSISTENCY WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. IN ORDER TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE TEACHING HOURS. THE MODE OF VERIFICATION OF PRESENCE IS GENERALLY ELECTRONIC OR MADE BY THE TEACHER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LESSONS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM WILL BE HELD AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND WILL BE AIMED AT EVALUATING THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO HAVE LEARNED THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE MATERIAL STRUCTURE BY HAVING ACQUIRED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACH AND A MICROSCOPIC APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF MATTER AND ITS TRANSFORMATIONS. THE MARK, EXPRESSED IN A SCALE FROM 18 TO 30 WITH POSSIBLE LAUDE, WILL DEPEND ON THE ACQUIRED MATURITY ON THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE. FOR THE LAUDE, IT WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE, AND OF THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT BEING DEMONSTRATED. THE EXAM TEST WILL CONSIST IN A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL TEST, BOTH ASSESSED IN THIRTY. IT WILL BE PROPOSED A WRITTEN TEST ON STOICHIOMETRY QUESTIONS ON: REDOX REACTION WITH LIMITING REAGENT AND GAS PRODUCTION, HOMOGENEOUS EQUILIBRIUM IN GAS PHASE, COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES, ACID-BASE EQUILIBRIUM, SOLUBILITY EQUILIBRIUM, GALVANIC CELL. TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE ORAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST REACH AT LEAST 15 POINTS. THE ORAL TEST WILL CONSIST OF AN INTERVIEW WHERE THE GAPS IDENTIFIED IN THE WRITTEN TEST WILL BE FILLED AND THEORY ASPECTS WILL BE DISCUSSED. FINAL SCORE WILL BE GIVEN BY THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO TESTS. |
