|
|
| Duration : | 30h Mon. WS |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Loïc Quinton |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Course contents :
|
| Topics : General and Organic Chemistry.
- Aggregation states of the matter
- Atomic and molecular structures
- Chemical bonding
- Chemical equilibria and pHmetry
- Oxydo-reduction reactions
- Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics
- Kinetics
- General characteristics of organic compounds and their main reactions, synthetic polymers and biopolymers.
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- 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, as much as possible, towards the applications to life sciences.
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Knowledge of some backgrounds of chemistry of the secondary level. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
- 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
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The lecture is distributed among the first two quadrimesters but according an asymmetric way:
- ~45h during the 1st quadrimester i.e. around two lectures of 1h45 every week
- ~15 h during the second quadrimester i.e. around one lecture every week.
|
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Lecture notes :
-
Lecture Notes. There is not, strictly speaking, lecture notes available for this course. Students will still have access to the slides showed during the course via their interface. They are, of course, invited to complete them according to their wishes.
-
Reference book. A reference book is nevertheless advisable for students and a low price sale will be held at the beginning of the new academic year.

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| First General Examination.
The first general examination is occurring during January and will cover the six first chapters. Students getting at least 10/20 will be exempted for these chapters in June, if they want. 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 May/June will be only written ones. It will occur by the following way :
- multiple choice on chapters 1-6 (1/2 day), only for students that failed in January
- multiple choice on chapters 7-12 (1/2 day).
Seconde General Examination.
The second session will be organized following the same way than the first (multiple choice on chapter 1 to 6, then 7 to 12 over two 1/2 days). No partial quotation obtained in the first session will be conserved for the second.
Experimental cotation.
The experimental work in laboratories during the year will be taken into account by averaging the five cotations obtained in each experimental session (~15pts for QROC/QROL exams and 5pts for general behavior=respect of the security instructions...). This cotation will be fixed and will be conserved for the first AND for the second session. A non medically justified absence will be automatically sanctionned by a 0/20. Medical certificates must be submitted to laboratory assistants as soon as possible and no later than 15 days after the absence.
Final cotation calculation.
The final quotation will be calculated as follows :
- 20% for laboratories
- 50% for chapters 1-6
- 30% for chapters 7-12
The global quotation (averaged to 20 with two digits) is sent to the Secretary of the jury for deliberation. |
