Objectives

This course completes the topics from Chemistry I and is designed to cover the basic principles, modern topics and contemporary applications of chemistry. Establishes the foundations in the fundamentals and the applications of current chemical and scientific theories.

Learning outcomes and competences

The students should be able to design, carry out, record and analyze the results of simple chemical experiments. Able to use simple instrumentation and classical techniques, to design simple experiments, and to properly record the results of their experiment. Should be skilled in problems solving, critical thinking and analytical reasoning. And be able to identify and solve chemical problems.

Eligibility for exams

According to the General Standards of Evaluation (NGA) established in FEUP.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Rating = 0.45 [Test A] + 0.30 [Test B] + 0.20 [Labs] + 0.05 [AutoA]

[Test A], [Test B]: The weighting of the tests is 45%+30% (for 75% of the final classification), whatever result that best benefits the student. A passing score required a minimum of 5 (out of 20) in each of the tests. Students can repeat one of the tests to choose from, at the time of appeal, but not both. There is no exam review of appeal.

[Labs]: The laboratory component focuses on the practical laboratory classes and the experiences carried out there, for 20 % of the final classification, distributed by internal components according to that indicated by the tutor in charge (e.g., posture during the laboratory session, recording and analysis of the results, reporting and questionnaire). There is no minimum mark for performance, but all experiments have to be carried out and all their assessment elements fulfilled.

[AutoA]: Homework and additional evaluation elements; includes attendance to theoretical-practical classes. Attendance will be counted in terms of the number of absences, in accordance with the General Regulation for the Assessment of students in force. After reaching the limit number of absences corresponding to 25% of the theoretical-practical classes, a zero value will be assigned to this component.

Students with Final Rating (integer) equal to or greater than 10 values are approved.

Examinations or Special Assignments

To be defined if applicable.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Carried out through a suitable test, based on a written examination at the appropriate season.
Student-workers may request an assessment scheme based on a practical exam and a final written exam. This situation must be requested at the beginning of the semester, even for students who have already passed the laboratory component. The practical exam will consist of a laboratory assessment lasting 3 hours, according to the model and timetable to be agreed with the professor. It will randomly focus on one or more of the experimental works in activity and will mandatorily imply experimental manipulation and preparation of a report on it, in addition to other means of evaluation that may be deemed necessary. The written exam will take place during the regular exam period, on the same date as the other students. The subject of the written exam covers in detail all the material included in the current program for the course, including written questions on the laboratory component. Students with Final Rating (integer) equal to or greater than 10 values are approved.

Classification improvement

Students who pass may require an recap examination for one of the tests (but not both) at the time of appeal. One cannot recap the [Labs] and [AutoA] components.

Observations

The reading of this page should be complemented by reading the detailed study program and the general information of the curricular unit available on the corresponding SIGARRA and MOODLE pages. All omitted cases must be submitted to the professor responsible for the curricular unit, which will be governed by the General Standards of Evaluation (NGA) in force.
