Are able to design, carry out, record and analyze the results of simple chemical experiments.
Are able to use simple instrumentation and classical techniques, to design simple experiments, and to properly record the results of their experiment.
Are skilled in problems solving, critical thinking and analytical reasoning.
Are able to identify and solve chemical problems.
Are able to use modern library searching and retrieval methods to obtain information about a topic, chemical, chemical technique, or an issue relating to chemistry.
Knows the proper procedures and regulations for safe handling and use of chemicals and can follow the proper procedures and regulations for safe handling when using chemicals.
Are able to communicate the results of their work to chemists and non-chemists.
Develop a minimal understanding of the ethical, historic, philosophical, and environmental dimensions of problems and issues facing chemists.
Have the bases to act in the future as professionals in industry or government and to progress in graduate or professional programs.

Eligibility for exams

Notwithstanding the provisions in the regulation of the FEUP, a student obtains frequency when making all the homework, all experimental work successfully (ie with ratings equal to or higher than 10) and all tests and final exam with a classification different from 0 (zero) in each. You must deliver all elements of evaluation, even if they are not credited with a rating for being late. If a student does not deliver all the homework, all the tests, all the reports and the final exam, will not get frequency. There is no rated frequency.
Students with more than one entry to the course are exempted from homework.
On successful completion of the laboratory component the classification obtained is valid for that year and can be maintained for the next academic year, provided there is no significant change in the contents, or evaluation mode.
Obtaining final classification requires compliance with the attendance at the course. It is considered that a student meets attendance to a course if, after having been duly registered does not exceed the maximum number of absences equal to 25% of each of the types of classes.
For a detailed description of frequency, consult the general information of discipline for the current school year. There are no alternative criteria of frequency.

Calculation formula of final grade

For students regularly enrolled for the first time in the course the final classification (CF1) in the range of 20 (twenty) points is composed of 7.5% for all weekly homework (TPC), 12.5% for 1st test (T1), 15% for 2nd test (T2), 15% for 3rd test (T3), 20% for the experimental projects (L) and 30% for the final exam (E).
CF1 = TPC x 7,5% + T1 x 12,5% + T2 x 15% + T3 x 15% + L x 20% + E x 30%
For students with more than one entry in course (CFR) the final classification in the range of 20 (twenty) points is composed of 15% for the 1st Test (T1), 17.5% for the 2nd Test (T2), 17 5% for 3rd Test (T3), 20% for the experimental (L) and 30% for the final exam (E).
CFR = T1 x 15% + T2 x 17,5% + T3 x 17,5% + L x 20% + E x 30%
A pass requires a final classification equal to or higher than 10.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

There are no alternative forms of assessment due to the distributed and cooperative nature of some of the evaluation components.

Classification improvement

It is impossible to improve any individual component of distributed assessment because of their nature, extent and in the case of laboratory because the assessment process is not individual and it is cooperative.
Makeover of the final exam is possible in accordance with the rules of FEUP. The improvement only affects this component in the proportion allocated to it.
For a detailed description of the course assessment, consult the general information for the current school year.

Observations

Reading the detailed syllabus and general information available for the course must complement the information in this form.
All issues left out should be submitted to the teacher responsible for the course, which is governed by the enforced general rules of FEUP.
