Teaching Methodologies

Expository theoretical classes using audiovisual and interactive means between student and teacher, with the use of practical classes to reinforce the understanding of the theorist’s syllabus 
 
Students will be monitored throughout each semester with clarification of doubts, whenever requested and as a complement to training.
 
Two hours a week are available, with a pre-defined schedule or to be agreed with the student.
 
Each student is also given the pedagogical supports of all the material taught or the
 
recommended bibliographical references for the discipline, at the beginning of the semester.

Learning Results

The curricular unit of analytical chemistry in pharmacy I aims to provide the student an adequate

knowledge of theoretical principles, practices and application components of instrumental

methods of analysis, essential to the performance of laboratory activities, having as main

objective the application of new technologies in the area of Pharmacy, your validation, as well as

in the area of investigation.

Also wants to enable and empower the learner on programming steps of developing an analytical

method, as well as in the selection of this, in the face of specific requirements, such as:

specificity, sensitivity, detection limit, selectivity, reproducibility and matrix interference, defining

further indicates the factors that lead to the choice of a particular method of analysis.

Competencies to develop:

-Understanding of the nature, objectives and applications of instrumental methods of analysis;

-Acquisition of knowledge and skills in the application of analytical methods in solving analytical

problems;

– Ability to define/select experiences and procedures in obtaining results;

-Ability to identify the conditions of applicability of various quantitative and qualitative analytical

methods;

-Determination of the concentration of various analytes by classical methods and instruments;

– Ability to handle and interpret analytical results
