The following training activities be carried out: 30 lectures, 14 seminars in small groups and 10 hours of laboratory practice, in addition to the corresponding tutorials.
1. The content of the course will be explained in 30 lectures, including guidelines for the use of the bibliography and for the resolution of problems. These classes will be in the classroom in scenario type 1, while in scenarios 2 and 3 they will be developed in the Microsoft Teams platform.
2. Interactive classes (seminars and tutorials), exercise bulletins and questionnaires will be solved, mainly through the active participation of the students. The continuous evaluation will be based on the participation of the students in these activities. Problem statements will be available to students in the virtual classroom well in advance. In the interactive classes the students will present their solutions, which will be analysed by all of them, and the teacher will be in charge of solving the doubts and difficulties that may arise. Occasionally, the seminars will also propose short exercises to be solved on the spot, which will be taken into account in the evaluation.
The interactive classes will take place in the classroom during scenarios 1 and 2 while in scenario 3 they will be developed through the Microsoft Teams and Moodle platform.
3. The laboratory practices will be carried out entirely in the laboratory in scenario 1. In scenario 2 50% of the practices will be in the laboratory and the other 50% will be carried out virtually. In a possible scenario 3 the whole practices will be replaced by appropriate virtual activities.
4. Group tutorials. Tutorials will be developed throughout the course in order to examine and solve all the doubts in group. They will be carried out in the classroom during scenarios 1 and 2, while in scenario 3 they will be developed in the Microsoft Teams platform.
5. Personalized tutorials, dedicated to carry out a close follow-up of each student's work, will be carried out in a face-to-face or virtual way according to the scenario in which we find ourselves, face-to-face in scenarios 1 and 2 and through the Microsoft Teams platform in scenario 3.
6. Digital Platform (Moodle): Through this digital platform a virtual classroom will be kept active in which the teachers of the subject will provide all the necessary information for the students (PowerPoint files, summaries of topics, problem bulletins and online questionnaires, news, announcements, etc.). It will also be the medium to be used for the final tests in scenario 3.
7. Microsoft Teams: The Microsoft Teams group videoconferencing platform will be used to give lectures, depending on the corresponding scenario as indicated above.
The course of Organic Chemistry I of Pharmacy is divided into lectures (30 hours), seminars (14 hours), laboratory practices (10 hours) and two tutorials.
In order to pass this course it is compulsory and unavoidable to receive a qualification of SUITABLE in the realization of the practices in presence (scenario 1) or in the activities proposed to substitute the presence practices in the scenarios 2 and 3.
The evaluation of this subject will be done through continuous assessment and a final test.
The continuous evaluation will include the laboratory practices (P), the face-to-face seminars and the works delivered through the virtual classroom (S), and the partial tests carried out in a face-to-face and/or virtual way according to the corresponding scenario (E).
The final exam will be performed in a face-to-face manner in scenarios 1 and 2, while in scenario 3 it will be performed in a virtual mode. In any case, it will cover all the contents of the course.
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the assessment of students' academic performance and the revision of qualifications" will apply.
In order to pass the course the student must obtain a grade of 5 or higher, as a result of applying the following formula:
Nf= maximum (Nl, N2)
Nf being the final note,
Nl the numerical score corresponding to the continuous evaluation (scale 0-10, N1=0.15xP+0.6xS+0.25E).
N2 the numerical grade of the final exam (scale 0-10).
Those students who, having passed the course by means of continuous assessment (Nl), choose to improve the corresponding grade may attend the final test at the first opportunity.
Students who have not passed in the previous year will have the same evaluation regime as those who are taking the course for the first time, unless they are exempt from the faculty of continuous assessment. In this case, the grade N2 (the grade of the virtual exam) will be the final grade (Nf).
In case of not passing the subject in the way indicated above, the student will be evaluated by the exam grade at the second opportunity.
The evaluation of repeaters also follows the criteria indicated for the ordinary opportunity.
The assessment of the skills (competence) acquired in the course will be made through the following channels:
A. In the written exams and partial tests:
Specific competences.
Q01. Identify, design, collect, analyze and produce the active ingredients, drugs and other health products and materials of interest.
