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 foundations to be able to act in the future as a professional in the industry, services, or to be able to progress in graduate programs or professional specialization.

Eligibility for exams

Notwithstanding the provisions in the regulation of FEUP (being duly registered and attending 75% of the number of classes), a student is graded when verifies the following set of conditions:
1. Performs all the laboratory experiments sucessfuly (ie with a rating equal to or higher than 10 as a whole);
2. Performs most of the work of theoretical-practical classes;
3. Do all 4 tests with a non-zero rating in 3 of them.

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 contrary indication by the professor, no significant change in the contents, nor in the evaluation mode.

or the year was achieved and can be maintained for the next academic year, provided there are no contrary indication of the teaching, significant change in content or the evaluation mode.

There are no alternative criteria frequency.

Calculation formula of final grade

For students regularly enrolled in the course the final classification (CF) in the range of twenty (20) ​​consists of 5% for most of the homework presented in the theoretical-practical classes (TP), 20% for all the work of laboratory classes (PL) and 75% for the average of the 3 best out of 4 tests done in class (T).

CF = 12:05 x TP + 0,20 x PL + 0.75 x T.

Students with a grade equal to or higher than 10 will be approved.

Evaluation of the homework presented in the theoretical-practical classes in the range of twenty (20):
1. Each group will perform, along the semester weekly homework, with 2-4 problems that must be delivered in the corresponding TP class;
2. All the home work will be corrected and marked, counting equally to the final average;
3. In the theoretical-practical classes of problem solving, the students will be chosen at random, to solve in the witheboard one of the given homework problems, and to explain the steps of their resolution to the professor;
4. When in a given class are not all the group members are present, the presentation will not be made. Exceptions are cases where this situation is recurrent to the same missing student, in order not to harm the rest of the group. In this case the student in question will have zero rating at that homework and we can see their grade null and void by excessive absences.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Carrying out all components of assessment.

Classification improvement

Carrying out all components of assessment.

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.
