Chemistry

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 to the 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. To pass the discipline the student must have a minimum score of 10 points in final exam. In the final exam several alternative responses are given for each problem, and only one is true; the student must put a cross in the respective box, the answer he considers correct.

As main objectives it is required the students to learn the basic knowledge of chemistry, in order to be able to apply the knowledge acquired in solving specific problems. It is important that at the end of the semester the student has developed personal skills that enable them autonomous learning in the future.
