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
Learning unit contents
Topics :
Aggregation states of the matter, atomic and molecular structures, chemical bondings, chemical equilibria, pH, redox (tome 1)
Thermodynamics, kinetics, reactions and examples related to biomedical sciences.
General characteristics of organic compounds and their main reactions. (tome 2)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Acquire some basic tools of chemistry necessary for biomedical sciences
- Use and apply correctly these tools including reasoning ability, the learning and understanding of the concepts in various situations.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledge of some backgrounds of mathematics of the secondary level.
Good knowledge of French language.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
4 laboratories are programmed to enable the students to apply and sense by themselves the practical involvements of the theoretical lecture.
Directed exercises are organized on the whole course
Remediation sessions are also organized for interested students.
Formative interrogations are organized regularly.
During magistral lectures, concepts will rely on concrete questions of the biomedical field and on every-day life problems. They will be illustrated by demonstration experiments on video.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Lecture notes : They are available during the first weeks of the quadrimester. They consist in two books entitled "Introduction à la chimie pour les sciences biomédicales" by C. Jérôme, of 6 chapters each. The slides used during the lectures, and the training exercices will also be available during the year via e-campus.
Assessment methods and criteria
During the quadrimester, formative interrogations will be organized on tome1. Students getting at least a mean of 10/20 will be exempted for these chapters in January session. For the students who failed these interrogations, the results will not be taken into account .
The written examination (MCQ) will be organized in two parts (tome 1 and 2). It will occur by the following way :
- written exam on tome1 (1/2 day), only for students that fail the interrogations
- written exam on tome2 (1/2 day).
The final quotation will be calculated as follows :
10% for laboratories (reports + questions during the labs)
45% for tome1 45% for tome2
The global quotation will be the averaged on 20.
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
The laboratories are mandatory.
A report will be asked for each laboratory to all students and QCM/QROC questions will be asked.
