Teaching Methodologies
In the theoretical lectures the contents are presented in the form of projections, to which students have access,and, whenever it is necessary, the board of the classroom. During the class, and as the concept, assumptions and principles are introduced, students are required to participate through questions raised by the teacher tothe students, or vice versa, to check that they are monitoring the matter. In class tutorial guidance, students solve the worksheets on several matters, with a concern to make up for a more customized to those who show lower performance capability.
Learning Results
As main objectives it is required the students to learn the basic knowledge of chemistry, in order to be able toapply the knowledge acquired in solving specific problems. It is important that at the end of the semester thestudent has developed personal skills that enable them autonomous learning in the future.
