Base Knowledge
General inorganic chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
Teaching Methodologies
Expository theoretical classes using audiovisual and interactive means between student and teacher, using theoreticalpractical classes to reinforce the understanding of theoretical syllabus and its application in the laboratory matrix.
Two hours a week are available, with a pre-defined time or to be arranged with the student to clarify doubts.
Each student is also given the pedagogical support of all the material taught or the bibliographical references
recommended for the discipline, at the beginning of the semester.
Continuous assessment: Theoretical and practical attendance
Students will have to obtain an assessment equal to or greater than 10 in practical frequency and 9.5 in theoretical frequency.
Theoretical part and theoretical-practical 55%; practical part 35%; attendance 10% – the presence, punctuality and active participation of students in classes are valued in the final calculation of the continuous assessment.
Students are admitted to the exam, taking into account the specifications of the Academic Regulation.
Learning Results
The curricular unit of Analytical Chemistry in Pharmacy I aims to provide the student with an adequate knowledge of theoretical principles, qualitative and quantitative analysis, practical components and application of classical methods and instrumental methods of analysis, indispensable to the performance of laboratory activities, with the main objective of applying new technologies to the field of Pharmacy, its validation, quality control, as well as in the area of Pharmaceutical Industry and research. Knowledge of GLP, GMP and ICH systems in the analysis of medicines in quality control, as well as compliance with quality specifications, identification, purity, dosage; role of Pharmacopoeia monographs and reference substances.
