Laboratory practical The assistance to the practical classes of laboratory is compulsory. The work of laboratory will be evaluated as APT or NO APT. The following aspects will be evaluated: previous or later work, development of the experimental work and lab notebook.
In order for the students to pass the subject, a qualification of APT in laboratory practices must be reached.

Other comments on the Evaluation

 Basic learning outcomes for this subject:

  • Chemical language (functional groups; organic formulation and nomenclature; reaction and resonance arrows; curved arrows; resonance forms).
  • Stereochemistry (representing 3D-structures; chair conformations; chiral centres; absolute and alkene configuration  assignation).
  • Basic reactivity (identifying acids, bases, nucleophiles and electrophiles; formal oxidation states; carbocations; cations and anions stability).
  • Laboratory (determination of a reaction yield).

In case of doubt about the acquisition of the learning results by the students, additional oral assessment tests may be taken.

To pass the subject in June you will need:

  • Achieve the mention of PASS in the evaluation of laboratory practices
  • Achieve a minimum score of 4 points out of 10 in the global test
  • Get a minimum score of 4 points out of 10 in the written test of the experimental part

If any of the above conditions is not met, the mark that will appear in the report will be the weighted mark of the tests.

Achieve a minimum score of 5.0 in the weighted sum of all sections. 

The final grade of the student who passes the subject may be normalized so that the highest grade can reach a value of up to 10 points.

2nd AND SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION STUDENTS: Students who have been evaluated with PASS in the laboratory work in a previous year will be awarded a PASS in the follow-up of the laboratory work in the current academic year. It is not needed to redo the experiments. However, they must carry out the questionnaire (10%) and the written test of the experimental part (15%) to obtain the corresponding qualification for the experimental part of the subject in the current academic year.

EVALUATION IN JULY: The grade obtained by the students during the course in the problem solving, mentored work, laboratory practical and laboratory questionnaire will be maintained. It will be possible to take a test of all the theoretical content of the subject that will mean 40% of the final grade and/or a written test of the experimental part that will mean 15% of the final grade.

It will be necessary to achieve a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in these tests to pass the subject and take into account the rest of the evaluation elements.

The final mark will be the weighted sum of all the sections, provided that the required minimums are reached. Otherwise, the score that will appear in the report will be the weighted score of the tests.

GLOBAL EVALUATION OPTION: To pass the subject, the student must carry out the laboratory practices, achieve a PASS grade in the work developed in the laboratory and a grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 in the written test of the experimental part (20% of the final mark). In addition, it is neccesary to achieve at least 5 points out of 10 in a test in which all the contents of the subject will be evaluated (80% of the final grade).
