Learning outcomes
Chemistry General aims of this education are to provide the essential elements to acquire the modern theories on the atomic and molecular structure of the inorganic and organic matter. The students should be able to comprehend and analyse the macroscopic phenomena emerging from several molecular steps and should focus their attention on the importance of the energetic variations associated to the phenomena. A major attention will be addressed to the study of the interactions present in the organic compounds, to help the student to acquire durable theoretical basis to understand the complex biochemical processes through a “molecular key”. Specific aims are: Understanding the electronic configuration in order to understand the properties 'periodic and reactivity' of chemical elements. Understanding of changes in the external electronic structure in the molecules formation. Understanding the nature of the forces between the molecules. To explain the chemical and physical concepts of energy and balance, which regulate all biological phenomena. Understanding the importance of water as a solvent in biological systems; understanding the properties of acids and bases. Understanding the concept of pH and buffer solutions in biological systems. Understanding the meaning of osmotic flow and its importance in medicine. Understanding the significance of reactions of electron transfer in biological systems. Understanding the importance of the structure of organic molecules and recognize the different classes of organic compounds, their officials and their chemical reactivity.

Propedeuticità degli esami di profitto
Un esame si definisce propedeutico se deve necessariamente essere superato prima di un altro esame.
LO STUDENTE È TENUTO A RISPETTARE LE PROPEDEUTICITÀ DEGLI ESAMI DI PROFITTO, PENA L’ANNULLAMENTO DEGLI ESAMI SUPERATI.

Riconoscimento della carriera pregressa
1) Criteri di valutazione Ai fini della valutazione, saranno considerati solo i CFU conseguiti per esami completati e registrati entro la data di presentazione della domanda di valutazione. Non saranno valutati esami parzialmente superati. Possono essere riconosciuti CFU per attività formative nell’ambito dei crediti a libera scelta (Attività didattica elettiva - ADE) fino ad un massimo di 5 CFU. Non saranno riconosciuti esami superati nei corsi di laurea delle Professioni sanitarie ad esclusione di esami ritenuti completamente equipollenti sulla base dei contenuti dei relativi programmi. La validità temporale dei contenuti degli obiettivi e dei programmi degli insegnamenti (Syllabus) è soggetta al principio di obsolescenza. L'obsolescenza si calcola a decorrere dall’anno solare di presentazione della domanda di valutazione della carriera pregressa a ritroso di otto anni. Si applica solo a studenti con carriere in corso. Il Collegio Didattico o altro organo delegato, valuterà e delibererà il riconoscimento della carriera pregressa, analizzando i programmi degli esami superati, i CFU assegnati, la congruità delle tipologie e dei contenuti delle attività formative con gli obiettivi formativi specifici delle attività previste dal CdLM a Ciclo Unico in Odontoiatria e Protesi Dentaria dell’Ateneo di Verona, incluse le attività pratiche. 2) Abbreviazione di carriera. I CFU acquisiti a seguito della valutazione della carriera pregressa, con esclusione dei CFU relativi all’attività didattica elettiva, possono consentire l’ammissione ad anni successivi al primo e quindi l’abbreviazione di carriera, a condizione che si realizzino i seguenti presupposti:
27 CFU per l’ammissione al secondo anno; 85 CFU per l’ammissione al terzo anno; 143 CFU per l’ammissione al quarto anno; 203 CFU per l’ammissione al quinto anno; 263 CFU per l’ammissione al sesto anno; Al fine di determinare la graduatoria di merito degli ammissibili ad anni successivi al primo è prevista la somministrazione di una prova integrativa, i cui termini e modalità di espletamento saranno resi noti contestualmente alla pubblicazione del bando di concorso annuale. |
Sbarramenti
E' consentito il passaggio da un anno di corso al successivo, esclusivamente agli studenti che, al termine della sessione autunnale, abbiano superato gli esami previsti nel piano didattico per quell’anno di corso con un debito didattico massimo di 31 CFU.
Gli esami che rientrano nel debito didattico devono essere superati prima di sostenere gli esami di profitto del successivo anno di corso.
Modalità e sedi di frequenza
La frequenza è obbligatoria.
Maggiori dettagli in merito all'obbligo di frequenza vengono riportati nel Regolamento del corso di studio disponibile alla voce Regolamenti nel menu Il Corso. Anche se il regolamento non prevede un obbligo specifico, verifica le indicazioni previste dal singolo docente per ciascun insegnamento o per eventuali laboratori e/o tirocinio.
Non è consentita l'iscrizione a tempo parziale. Per saperne di più consulta la pagina Possibilità di iscrizione Part time.
La sede di svolgimento delle lezioni e degli esami è la Piastra odontoiatrica.
