Teaching method
Online (Zoom) lectures with digital support and application examples.
Resolution of exercises and application examples - TP classes.
Two (2) laboratory works. Previous online sessions illustrating basic experimental techniques, security rules, and chemical reactions.
Evaluation method
QOG Evaluation criteria:
- 75% for the theoretical component
- 25% for the practical component.
Final score must be higher than 9.5 values.
Each of the components of the discipline and their constituents can not have
an evaluation lower than 8 values. Final score must be higher than 9.5 values. (Score from 0 to 20).
Evaluation of the theoretical component:
- 2 tests (40% + 60% )
Practical component evaluation:
1 - Mandatory presence in all laboratory classes -
Evaluation criteria 1: the non-attendance in the 3 classroom laboratory classes results in the NON-FREQUENCY to the QOG credit unit.
Students will do individual work.
Evaluation criteria 2: the non-presence in practical classes online will prevent the student from doing the session (class) in person.
2 - It is mandatory to have a laboratory notebook.
Evaluation criteria: without a laboratory notebook, the student is prevented from attending practical classes (online and in person).
3 - It is mandatory to answer inquiries prior to practical sessions.
Quantitative evaluation of the practical component - the quantitative evaluation will be done through the average of the classification obtained in the tests relative to the 2 laboratory sessions (in person).
None of the evaluation components and their constituent parameters can be less than 8 values.
