Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
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, kinetics and thermodynamics
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
Due to current health measures, the practical modalities of the course may be adapted according to the constraints. At the time of writing this educational commitment, it was decided that the theoretical course will be in the form of pre-recorded video capsules (available online).
The guided exercise sessions (TD) and practical work (TP) remain in person.
The teaching team will keep you informed, via your ULiège email address, of any changes.
Laboratories are programmed to enable the students to apply and sense by themselves the practical involvements of the theoretical lecture.
Guided 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.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
COVID-19 Due to current health measures, the practical modalities of the course may be adapted according to the constraints. At the time of writing this educational commitment, it was decided that the theoretical course will be in the form of pre-recorded video capsules (available online). TD and TP sessions remain face-to-face. The teaching team will keep you informed, via your ULiège email address, of any changes.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
The exam will be written in the form of a MCQ. It will be organized in person. In the event that venue at the university site is prohibited, the exam will then be organized remotely via the e-campus platform. All the details of the practical modalities of this remote exam will be available on this e-campus platform. If the scheduled face-to-face exam must be organized remotely, students will be notified of this change by email, which must be consulted until the day before the exam date.
Recommended or required readings
A copy of the slides seen during the theoretical course is available at a sale organized at the beginning of the year. The course has about 1500 slides which are arranged 4 per page. The student is free to complete these notes during the course. This exercise will be done all the better if these slides are covered quickly before class. The examination material is the material contained in these slides supplemented by the teacher's comments and additions. The proposed reference books serve to approach the subject differently and to complete the understanding of the course. The reference works are: - Raymond Chang, Jason Overby, General Chemistry, 5th Ed., 2019, ISBN 978-2-8073-2676-7 - Raymond Chang, Jason Overby, Chemistry of Solutions, 5th Ed., 2019, ISBN 978-2-8073-2675-0 A group purchase is organized at the beginning of the year in order to obtain a more attractive price. The repetitions exercises will be taken from the reference books and / or posted on eCampus before each repetition. A practical work booklet will be on sale during the registration sessions for the chemistry labs. This booklet must be provided during the practicals.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
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.
A report will be asked for each laboratory to all students and QCM/QROC questions will be asked.
