 |
|
| Duration : | 60h Th, 20h Pr, 20h QA Sess., 20h REM |
|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Christine Jérôme |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | Topics : general and organic chemistry.
Aggregation states of the matter, atomic and molecular structures, chemical bondings, chemical equilibria, pH, redox, thermodynamics, kinetics, reactions and examples related to biomedical sciences.
General characteristics of organic compounds and their main reactions, aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives, synthetic polymers and biopolymers. |
|
| Course objective : | - Acquire the basic tools of chemistry and biochemistry
- Check the reasoning ability, the learning and understanding of the topics (this aim is very important for all lectures of the cursus).
The lecture is oriented towards the applications to life sciences as the aim of this lecture is to purchase to the students the basic tools in order to enable them to sense their use in the chemistry and biochemistry lectures. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Knowledge of some backgrounds of chemistry of the secondary level. |
|
| Workshops : | 5 laboratories of 4h are programmed to enable the students to apply and sense by themselves the practical involvements of the theoretical lecture. These laboratories consist of the applications of pH, titrations, kinetics, redox reactions and spectrophotometric measurements. One of the 5 laboratories is devoted to the identification of the functions in organic chemistry |
|
| Organization : | The lecture is distributed among the first two quadrimesters but according an asymmetric way (45h at the 1st quadrimester and 15 h at the second one), i.e. two lectures of 1h45 every week at the 1st quadrimester and the remaining lectures during the second quadrimester. |
|
| Written notes : | Lecture notes :
They are sold at the first lecture. They consit of two books entitled "Introduction à la chimie" (2009) : C. Jérôme, of 6 chapters each.
The transparencies used during the lectures will also be available during the year. |
|
| Assessment : | The first general examination is occurring during January and will cover the nine first chapters. Students getting at least 12/20 will be exempted for these chapters in June. For the students who failed this examination, the results will not be taken into account and 20h of remediation will be organized during the second quadrimester.
The examinations in June as well as in September will be only written ones. It will occur by the following way :
- multiple choice on chapters 1-9 (1/2 day), only for students that failed in January - multiple choice on chapters 10-12 and laboratory (1/2 day). The written laboratory examination will enable to determine the global quotation of the laboratory, also taking into account the experimental work during the year.
The final quotation will be calculated as follows :
10% for laboratories (reports + written exam)
60% for chapters 1-9 (January or June)
30% for chapters 10-12
The global quotation (averaged to 20 with two digits) is sent to the secretary of the jury. |
