THE PRESENT COURSE IS FOCUSED ON THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE CHEMISTRY, BIOSYTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF SOME CLASSES OF NATURAL PRODUCTS WITH PHARMACEUTICAL, COSMETIC AND FOOD INTEREST, AND FOCUSED ON METHODS USED IN QUALITY CONTROL OF HERBAL PREPARATIONS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AT THE END OF THE COURSE STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE DEVELOPED SPECIALIST SKILLS REGARDING ALL THE ASPECTS OF BIOACTIVES COMPOUNDS FROM PLANTS. JUDGMENT AUTONOMY CRITICAL LEARNING IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECTIVES AND IS PERFORMED BY INTERACTIVE DIDACTICS. THE STUDENT SHOULD DEVELOP AND USE THEIR JUDGMENT AUTONOMY. DISCUSSIONS AND COMPARISON BETWEEN THE STUDENTS WILL BE STIMULATED AND INCENTIVED. COMMUNICATION SKILLS ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY THE KNOWLEDGE OF PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDIES TO SPECIALISTS AND SPECIALIST INTERLOCUTORS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BY AN OPPORTUNITY KNOWLEDGE OF THEMES INHERENT BIOACTIVE MOLECULES. LEARNING SKILLS WITH THE CONVERGENCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHEMISTRY AND THE BIOLOGY OF THE SECONDARY METABOLITES, THE STUDENT DURING THIS COURSE WILL DEVELOP THE LOGICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS THAT ALLOW THE LEARNING THE LANGUAGE OF THIS DISCIPLINE. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD WILL BE USED AS A FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM FOR CRITICAL ANALYSIS AND WITH THE AIM OF SOLVE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS. |
