Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The goal of this discipline is to provide the students a good preparation on Organic Chemistry and it`s principles in order to enable them to easily deal with related disciplines. The laboratorial classes have the goal to introduce students to organic syntesis.
Syllabus:
Introduction to Organic Chemistry
Representative Carbon Compounds
Basic rules of organic chemistry nomenclature. Organic Stereochemistry. Introduction to organic reactions. ionic reactions and nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides, elimination reactions.
Reactions of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
Reactions of aromatic compounds
Reactions aldehydes and ketones. Reactions carboxylic acids and derivatives.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The syllabus comprising the curricular unit will meet the requirements that are set out in the objectives, and it provides students with the necessary lessons (concepts, techniques, methodologies) to be able to achieve the objectives set out above.
All information provided aims to sensitize students to the importance of: Representative carbon compounds; Organic reactions and their mechanisms; Basic rules of nomenclature of organic chemistry. Alkanes and cycloalkanes; Alkenes and alkynes; Aromatic compounds; Aldehydes and ketones.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The methodologies used are lecture, inductive and deductive methods. Also the methodology is used for educational simulation, this is the teaching/learning process is performed in conditions close to laboratory reality. Students will solve practical cases, which are similar to situations they will have in your professional life, which will, using various analytical techniques, develop their critical spirit.
The evaluation of the course includes, in addition to continuous assessment, student lab performance.
T: 2 tests (50% + 50%). PL: desempenho e Mini-fichas (40%), 2 tests (60%). Final: 80%T + 20%PL
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The objectives of the curricular unit are achieved by the use of the methodology referred since the expository component provides guidance on the systematic study and the practice exercitation promotes the practical application of concepts and theories studied within the curricular unit. In addition, the use of a set of materials study purposely created, as well as support sessions to clarification of doubts and activities for knowledge assessment, allow a high level of fit between the methodologies and objectives of the curricular unit. The adoption of the proposed methodologies will enable students to: acquire knowledge; discover working methods to be used; take professional behaviors, to detect the importance of activity in a laboratory context; apply knowledge in new situations, or raise an ongoing discussion in classes.
