CHEMISTRY

Course objectives

CHEMISTRY The Chemistry course has an invaluable importance for its contents for any University Degree Course that deals with science and technology and aims to provide students with basic knowledge in Chemistry, applicable in both scientific and technological fields. Expected learning outcomes: Knowledge and understanding (Dublin descriptor I)
At the end of the course the student will have the basic knowledge in General Chemistry on the composition, structure, properties and transformations of matter. It will then be able to understand the environment that surrounds it from the point of view of its microscopic and macroscopic structure. He will also be aware of the multiple interconnections of Chemistry with other scientific disciplines and the need for continuous updating on the state of the art, due to the continuous progress of scientific knowledge and technology. Applying knowledge and understanding (descriptor II)
At the end of the course of study the student will have developed the ability to understand some chemico-physical characteristics of substances, such as, for example, aggregation state, volatility, solubility, based on the knowledge of their structure. Making judgements (descriptor III)
At the end of the course the student will have to possess the tools to critically evaluate a chemical transformation. In some cases, based on the knowledge of the intra- and intermolecular structure of chemical compounds, to predict various chemico-physical properties, such as, for example, aggregation, solubility and reactivity. Communication skills (descriptor IV)
At the end of the course the student must have acquired a good language property, especially with regards to a specific scientific terminology, so as to be able to clearly communicate their knowledge and conclusions to an audience composed from people with (or without) expertise in the field. Learning skills (descriptor V)
At the end of the course the student must have developed a learning ability that will allow him to study and deepen the chemical aspects related to the field of technology in an autonomous way.

Teaching mode
The Course is divided into a series of lectures (in person and/or remotely) using the projection of slides. There are also several hours dedicated to exercises. The slides used to support the lessons are available during the entire duration of the Course on the Professor's website, together with self-assessment tests.
Frequency
Three weekly lessons during the semester
Exam mode
The assessment of the preparedness consists of a written test and an oral test The Written Test contributes for the 70% of the total score, divided as follows: - Exercises on the learning of theoretical concepts (30%) ("Knowledge and understanding" and "Applying knowledge and understanding") - Calculation exercises on the application of theoretical concepts (30%) ("Applying knowledge and understanding" and "Making judgements") - Verification on the application of theoretical concepts to real cases (10%) ("Applying knowledge and understanding" and "Making judgements") The Oral Test contributes for the 30% of the total score, divided as follows: - Verification on language property and clarity of presentation (20%) ("Communication skills") - Verification of the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the field of technology (10%) ("Learning skills")
