Study Programmes 2015-2016
CHIM0710-1  
Chemistry as preparation for motor skills, Part I
Duration :
30h Th, 12h Pr, 10h REM
Number of credits :
Bachelor in physiotherapy and rehabilitation5
Bachelor in motor skills : general5
Lecturer :
Loïc Quinton
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
Topics : General  Chemistry
  • Aggregation states of the matter
  • Atomic and molecular structures
  • Chemical bonding
  • Chemical equilibria and pH-metry
  • Oxydo-reduction reactions
Learning outcomes of the course :
  • Acquire the basic tools of chemistry.
  • Check the reasoning ability, the learning and the understanding of the topics (this aim is crucial for all the lessons of the cursus).
  • The lecture is oriented, as much as possible, towards the applications to life sciences.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Knowledge of some backgrounds of chemistry of the secondary level.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
  • 3 experimental sessions, called "laboratories", of 4h are programmed to enable the students to apply and sense by themselves the practical involvements of the theoretical lectures.
  • These "laboratories" consist in the applications of pH-metry, titrations, or again redox reactions.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Theoretical lecture: 30h divided into 17 sessions of 1h30 (~2 lessons per week). 
Training session: 7 sessions of 1h30 are schedulled for this course. 
e-Campus: an e-learning platform is available for helping the students all along the course. You will find there: 
  • lecture notes
  • statements of the training exercises
  • corrected exercises 
  • exam simulations
  • a discussion forum for asking questions to teachers
Recommended or required readings :
Lecture Notes. Students will have access to the slides showed during the lessons via their e-learning interface. They will be, of course, invited to complete them according to their wishes.
Reference book. Two books of reference will be presented. A low price sale will be held at the beginning of the new academic year for the students who want to purchase these books.
Assessment methods and criteria :
SESSIONS OF EXAMINATION
Written exam  (80% of the final score).
  • The students will be evaluated through a written exam organized as multiple choice questions.
  • Three sessions of examination will be organized (january, june and september), allowing the students to have three chances of success.
  • This written exam will count for 80% of the final mark.
Experimental examination (20% of the final score).
  • The experimental work in chemistry laboratories will be taken into account by averaging the marks obtained from each experimental session (~15pts for QROC/QROL exams and 5pts for general behavior, for the respect of the security instructions...).
  • The presence in the laboratory sessions is mandatory. A non-medically justified absence will be automatically sanctionned by a 00/20. All the medical certificates must be EXCLUSIVELY deposited in the mail box located at the first floor of the B6d building. Only these certificates will be taken into account.
  • This mark is fixed for the three exam sessions and counts for 20% of the final score. 
VALIDATION OF THE COURSE CHIM0710-1.
  • The global score will be calculated from the score obtained for the written exam (80%) and from the experimental work (20%).
  • Each global score equal or superior to 10,00/20 will ensure the validation of the course.
  • The global score is sent to the Secretary of the jury for deliberation with two digits.
