CONTEXTUALIZATION/PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE



The subject falls within the Basic Training module.



In this subject, knowledge taught from the chemistry subjects of the baccalaureate of sciences is used.For this reason, it is recommended to manage and master the knowledge of Chemistry that is in the Baccalaureate programs (including the second year) to more easily approach the subject.



The main objective of this course is to broaden the knowledge of basic language and the fundamentals of chemistry related to the structure and states of aggregation of matter, thermochemistry, aqueous solutions and acid-base and red-ox reactions, as well as and those related to the chemistry of organic compounds.



The knowledge imparted in this subject will be used in the following subjects:

- Applied Biophysics and Biochemistry

- Human physiology

- biomaterials

- human pathophysiology

- Micro-Nanobiotechnology

- Radiology and Radiation Protection

Tema 02. Chemical thermodynamics.

Tema 03. Kinetics of chemical reactions.

Tema 04. Aqueous solutions.

Tema 05. Reactions in aqueous solution. Equilibria of proton and electron transfer.

Organic chemistry

Tema 06. Fundamental concepts of Organic Chemistry.

Tema 07. Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Tema 08. Common functional groups in organic chemistry.

Tema 09. Stereoisomerism.

Tema 10. Reactions of organic compounds.

Tema 11. macromolecules.

Tema 12. Chemistry of living beings: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids.

The methodology that will be followed in the subject so that the students develop the competences and materialize the learning results, will be both individual and group.



Among the individual ones, the master class modality stands out, where expositions will be given by the teacher.



Part of the face-to-face time will be dedicated to carrying out various activities, generally to carrying out problems that will be solved to promote comprehension work through practical questions. The resolution of questions and problems will be carried out encouraging the participation of the students.



Another of the teaching methodologies to be used will be laboratory practices. Trials will be carried out to obtain data on the properties that have been developed theoretically in problems and in lectures. Students will have a practical script that allows them to develop activities and experimental techniques well, which will be carried out in the laboratory. In order to facilitate and ensure the student's learning, the practices will be monitored through previous questions to be resolved by the student before entering the laboratory and through the questions that will be collected at the end of the laboratory practices.



"In the event that the sanitary conditions prevent the performance of a teaching activity and/or face-to-face evaluation"

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 60
  • Multiple-Choice Test (%): 30
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 10

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION



The so-called Continuous Evaluation of the subject in its ordinary call is made according to the procedure and the criteria that are exposed in this section. It consists of three different contributions:



1. Written final exam. Its statement and content corresponds to the General Chemistry part of the course program. The grade obtained in it represents 60% of the final grade that appears in the minutes, but provided that the final written exam grade is greater than or equal to 5.0 (out of a maximum score of 10). Otherwise, the grade obtained in the written exam automatically becomes the final grade of the record.

2. Additional activities. In these activities, the evolution of the students in the knowledge of the content of the Organic Chemistry part of the subject program is assessed through written tests. The grade obtained for the set of activities carried out during the course represents 30% of the final grade that appears in the minutes, but provided that the final grade is greater than or equal to 5.0 (out of a maximum score of 10 ) and 6.5 (out of a maximum score of 10) in the case of MCQ tests. At the beginning of the course, the teacher will define what they will consist of, the delivery deadlines and their evaluation percentages. This mark will be kept only for the ordinary and extraordinary call of this course.

3. Laboratory practices. The grade obtained for all the laboratory practices represents 10% of the final grade that appears in the minutes. This mark will be kept only for the ordinary and extraordinary call of this course.



FINAL EVALUATION



All students who wish to be qualified through this other procedure in the ordinary call will suffice to communicate it in writing to the teacher of the subject before the ninth week of the course, indicating their express wish to renounce the Continuous Assessment.



This final evaluation includes the following two contributions:



1. Written final exam. Its statement and content corresponds to the General Chemistry part of the course program. The grade obtained in it represents 70% of the final grade that appears in the minutes, but provided that the final written exam grade is greater than or equal to 5.0 (out of a maximum score of 10). Otherwise, the grade obtained in the written exam automatically becomes the final grade of the record.

2. MCQ tests of the Organic Chemistry part of the course syllabus. The grade obtained represents 30% of the final grade that appears on the record, but provided that the grade is greater than or equal to 6.5 (out of a maximum score of 10).



Any of the two types of evaluations collected here are based on the following aspects: logical, orderly and legible exposition; approaches; procedures used, results and their discussion; and finally, possible conclusions.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION



The so-called Continuous Assessment of the subject, in its extraordinary call, includes holding a new written final exam for the General Chemistry part and/or an MCQ test for the Organic Chemistry part, whose qualification is established in the same terms already exposed. in the Continuous Evaluation section of the Ordinary Call. The rest of the grades obtained during the course, corresponding to the indicated contributions, contribute to the final grade with the percentages and conditions already indicated.



FINAL EVALUATION



The final evaluation in the Extraordinary Call is carried out in the same way as in the Ordinary Call.



All students who:

- were evaluated through Final Evaluation already in the ordinary call

- or expressly request it in writing before the month of May of the corresponding academic year begins.



Any of the two types of evaluations collected here are based on the following aspects: logical, orderly and legible exposition; approaches; procedures used, results and their discussion; and finally, possible conclusions.

It is recommended that all students have the student's guide, the regulations, the program, the statements of the problems and the scripts of the practices.

On the other hand, in order to carry out the laboratory practices, it is necessary for the students to attend them with individual protection material (safety glasses, gown and gloves).
