Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: ELEMENTI DI CHIMICA GENERALE
------------------------
The aim of the course is to acquire the main concepts of General Chemistry and some notions of Inorganic Chemistry. At the end of the course the student must be able to solve problems regarding the General Chemistry, showing good reasoning skills and ability in the connection of different concepts. The course also aims to give to the student adequate means in order to deal with other courses, such as Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc... In particular, the course is preparatory to the Organic Chemistry course.
------------------------
MM: ELEMENTI DI CHIMICA ORGANICA
------------------------
The course presents the conceptual bases to provide the student with the basics of organic chemistry. Knowledge of organic compounds and their reactivity is the basis for dealing with advanced topics for the comprehension of biological and biomolecular phenomena. At the end of the course, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to deal with the structures and the chemical properties and typical reactions of the organic molecules and must be able to apply such knowledge to describe the reaction mechanisms. The basic concepts learned during the course will provide students with the tools of molecular interpretation of the organization of biological systems.

Examination Methods

------------------------
MM: ELEMENTI DI CHIMICA GENERALE
------------------------
The final examination consists of a written part (multiple choice test). The student will solve 30 questions regarding the whole programme: 1 point for each right answer, -0.2 for each wrong answer and 0 point for each missing or canceled answer. The final mark will be expressed in thirtieths. All students reaching the mark of 17 have the right to do an oral part, with the aim to obtain the final mark of 18. These rules apply for attending students as well as non attending ones.
------------------------
MM: ELEMENTI DI CHIMICA ORGANICA
------------------------
Written exam: 6 exercises, available time 1 and a half hours. The obtained grade will be averaged with the one obtained in the module of "General Chemistry Elements" The exam consists of a written verification of the level of knowledge acquired on organic chemistry. The student should be able to correctly represent the molecules using the conventions in use, recognize isomers, identify reactive groups, and describe in detail the reaction mechanisms. It is moreover verified the knowledge of molecule codes used in databases. The test consists of a written exam divided into six open-ended exercises (time available 90 minutes). The final grade is given by the sum of the scores obtained in the individual exercises. If the outcome of the written exam is ≥ 16/30 it is possible to scheduled the oral exam.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
