Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Problem solving	In the different classes (lectures, seminars) the students will be given handouts with problems and/or exercises that will be used for their evaluation. Learning outcomes: (1). Describe the fundamental concepts of the methods for structural determination. (2). Analyse the information that, on the molecular structure, provide the different methods and understand their main limitations. (3). Predict the basic features of a particular spectrum for a given compound.	20	A1 A2 A3	C4 C8 C12 C19 C20 C24	D7 D8 D13 D15
Laboratory practice	There will be two short tests of about 2 hour duration in which the students will be asked to obtain structural information from experimental data (spectra and other physical data). The first tests covers chapters 1-3 (10% of qualification), and the second chapter 4 (20% of qualification). Learning outcomes: (1). Analyse the information that, on the molecular structure, provide the different methods and understand their main limitations. (2). Predict the basic features of a particular spectrum for a given compound. (3) Design the basic process to obtain a particular structural information of a compound. (4). Solve the molecular structure of a simple compound from its spectra (UV, IR, MS, NMR, X-Ray, etc). Further, there will be a final test that covers all chapters (30% of qualification)	60	A1 A2 A3 A4	C8 C12 C19 C20 C24	D3 D7
Essay	The students will carry out a small project proposed by the professors of multidisciplinary spectroscopic nature. The results will be presented as a written report. Learning outcomes:(1). Solve the molecular structure of a simple compound from its spectra (UV, IR, MS, NMR, X-Ray, etc).	20	A1 A2 A3 A4	C4 C8 C12 C19 C20 C24	D1 D4 D5 D9 D12 D14 D16

Other comments on the Evaluation
To pass the course the students must handle the professor the following material: - A minimum of 80% of the handouts and homework proposed in the seminar classes. - All the short tests. - The final report. To pass the course at the end of the quarter the students will be required to get a minimum of 5 points (on the basis of 10) in the final mark. Besides, it is indispensable to obtain in the evaluation of the different parts of the course the following minima: - 30% of the total value in each one of the short tests. - 40% of the total value in the group of the handouts. - 30% of the total value in the final test. In the event the minima is not reached, the student record will show the balanced mark of the short tests. For students that complete less than 20% of the total work scheduled, the records will not show, in agreement with the current legislation and, the quotation NOT PRESENTED. In any case, the presentation to one of the short tests, will imply the qualification of the course. The students that fail at the end of the quartet will have to pass a final exam at the end of the academic year (June, July). Said proof will replace the results of the final tests. A minimum of 30% of the total value of the exam will be required to pass the course. The qualifications of the handouts and the project report are non-recoverable. In case the minima established in each part is not reached, the qualification will be FAILED. Once the minima is passed a global mark equal or higher than 5.0 (on the basis of 10) will be required to pass the course. The final qualification of the students that pass the course will be normalised to 10 points.
