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
FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS WHICH CAN BE ACQUIRED AT SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL

BENZENE AND AROMATIC COMPOUNDS: BENZENE STRUCTURE, DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS IN BENZENE ACCORDING TO THE THEORY OF MOLECULAR ORBITALS, HUCKEL'S RULES FOR AROMATICITY, ELEMENTS OF REACTIVITY. STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS, PROPERTIES AND ELEMENTS OF REACTIVITY OF THE MAIN CLASSES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS: ALOALKANS; ALCOHOLS; ETHERS; PHENOLS; ALDEHYDES AND KETONES; CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND THEIR FUNCTIONAL DERIVATIVES; AMINES. AMINO ACIDS AND PEPTIDES. PROTEINS: STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION LEVELS AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. CARBOHYDRATES: STRUCTURE AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MONO-, OLIGO- AND POLY-SACCHARIDES. STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS AN D CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MAIN CLASSES OF LIPIDS. STRUCTURAL CONSTITUENTS OF NUCLEIC ACIDS: MONOSACCHARIDES, PURINE AND PYRIMIDINE BASES, NUCLEOSIDES AND NUCLEOTIDES
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (64 HOURS) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (20 HOURS). DURING THE EXERCISES THE PROBLEM SOLVING IS PROPOSED TO THE STUDENT. THE RESOLUTION METHOD CONSISTS OF UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM, PLANNING THE SOLUTION, AND FINALLY SOLVING IT. THIS LAST PHASE PROMOTES THE HABIT OF ASSESSING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE RESPONSE AND VERIFYING CONSISTENCY WITH THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY.
Verification of learning
METHOD OF VERIFICATION OF LEARNING: THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE TEACHING IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAMIMATION. THE LATTER CONSISTS OF A SELECTIVE WRITTEN TEST, FOLLOWED BY AN ORAL TEST.
THE WRITTEN TEST INCLUDES QUESTIONS ON THE BASIS OF GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, STOICHIOMETRY AND PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, FUNCTIONAL TO THE STUDY OF BIOCHEMISTRY. THE WRITTEN TEST IS AIMED TO VERIFY THE ABILITY TO CORRECTLY APPLY THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS PROPOSED AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE EXCEEDED WITH THE REACHING OF THE MINIMUM SCORE.
DURING THE TEST IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO CONSULT TEXTS OR USE A PC OR SMART PHONE WHILE IT IS ALLOWED TO USE THE CALCULATOR AND THE PERIODIC TABLE.
THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW ON THE CONTENT INDICATED IN THE PROGRAM OF THE CLASS AND IS AIMED TO VERIFYING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY OF UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS VERIFYING THE CAPACITY OF EXPOSURE AND ORGANIZE A COMPLETE DISCUSSION ON THE CONTENTS OF THE CLASS.
THE VOTE WILL DEPEND ON THE LEVEL OF THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, THE ABILITY OF DEEPENING, AND THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE, IN TERMS OF USE OF THE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE, SHOWN BY THE STUDENT.
