General Organic Chemistry
Objectives
Acquisition of basic knowledge in Organic Chemistry, necessary for the training of a future Chemical Engineer.
Understand and master the "language of organic chemistry", both spoken and written.
Know and identify the most important functional groups as well as know their reactivity.
Analyze and understand the mechanisms involved in transformations as well as understand the concepts of stereochemistry involved in transformations as well as organic compounds.

Teaching method
Face-to-face teaching.
Lectures with digital support and application examples.
Resolution of exercises and application examples - TP classes.
Six practical classes, involving different laboratory works.
Evaluation method
Frequency in the course unit is required and continuous assessment is carried out which involves:
Continuous evaluation:
Two tests - 0,7 of the final grade (mandatory equal to or greater than 9.5 values)
Laboratory - 0.3 of the final grade (mandatory equal to or greater than 9.5 values)
Students who have acquired frequency in previous years will see the laboratory component replaced by that regstered grade, which in total will have a weight of 0.3 in the final grade.
