Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical Matrix:
Essentially expository methodology by appropriate audiovisual media, calling for student participation.
Practice Matrix:
Dividing the class into groups of 2-3 students for practical laboratory.
Continuous evaluation:
Two written Theoretical Tests and two Experimental Works during classes.
Students must obtain a positive rating (10-20) in both matrices (T and P) and cannot have any rating lower than 8 values.
The presence, punctuality, and participation of students in classes is valued in the final calculation of the continuous assessment.
The calculation of the final grade results in 90% of the arithmetic mean of the ratings of both matrices (T and P) and 10% of the attendance assessment.
Regular period Exam, Appeal period Exam and Special period Exam, in accordance with the Academic Regulation in force.
Learning Results
i) Acquisition of theoretical bases to support laboratory work in the field of Chemistry and Pharmacy
ii) Acquisition of basic skills for laboratory work in the areas of Chemistry and Pharmacy, complying with the appropriate safety and quality rules.
iii) Development of autonomy at the laboratory.
