Teaching in the second semester

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Topics:
Thermodynamics, kinetics of reactions examples related to biomedical sciences. General characteristics of organic compounds and their main reactions.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

- Acquire some basic tools of organic 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

3 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 available on the e-campus platform.
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 + practicals + training

Recommended or required readings

Lecture notes : They are available during the first weeks of the quadrimester. They consist in a book entitled "Introduction à la chimie " Partim 2, by C. Jérôme, of 6 chapters. The slides used during the lectures, and the training exercises will also be available during the quadrimester via e-campus.

Assessment methods and criteria

The written examination  will be organized as multiple choice questions on theoretical and problem solving aspects of the lectures.
The final quotation will be calculated as follows : 20% for laboratories (obtained during the quadrimester) 80% for the QCM examination.
The global quotation will be the averaged on 20.
During the quadrimester, students can train themselves on the e-campus platform.

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

The laboratories are mandatory.
Any absence must be justified by medical certificate provided to the assistant within three working days. Each student is required to come with his required equipment (labcoat, glasses) having prepared the laboratory in advance by reading the manual and related course concept.
A report and/or QCM/QROC questions will be asked for each laboratory to all students.

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session

Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning

The chapters concerned by the confinement period are the end of chapter 11 (cis-trans isomerism) and chapter 12. For these chapters: - the scheduled courses were recorded in the form of uniliege podcasts available via my Uliege. - the two TPs have been cancelled for all students. - exercises with commented resolution have been made available in podcasts via myuliege. - the detailed resolution of the exercises planned for the training sessions has been made available to students via e-campus. - additional exercises and their answers are also available on e-campus - a forum has been opened on e-campus to answer collegial questions from students.

Assessment subjects

All the material in chapters 7 to 12, including the material seen from e-learning. There will be no questions specific to the two laboratories that have not been organized.
