2. Pre-Requisites
No prerequisites are established for this subject although it is recommended that the student has previously passed the subjects of Organic Chemistry I and II, Biochemistry I and II, Physical Chemistry I and II and Pharmaceutical Chemistry I.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Pharmaceutical Chemistry is the discipline responsible for the design, synthesis and development of molecules with biological activity and drugs for therapeutic purposes. In this sense, this subject is very important in the training of graduates in pharmacy. This is a subject that requires a solid previous knowledge of organic chemistry, biochemistry and physico-chemistry, and the knowledge acquired from it will be used in subjects such as pharmacology, bioinformatics, biopharmacy and pharmacokinetics, among others.

In addition, students will have access to complementary bibliographic and audiovisual material on this platform. On the other hand, the recommended bibliography is available in the university library of the Albacete campus. After the exposition of the topics in class (expository method) by the professor, the active participation of the student through cooperative work, both in the classroom and outside it, and in the resolution of problems and seminars that will be carried out actively during the course will be taken into account in the final evaluation of the student's participation in the subject. This participation will consist of the elaboration of seminars and case studies, and activities consisting of short review questions, which will be distributed throughout the different theoretical expositions, complemented with examples or specific cases from the recent bibliography that put in context the current relevance of each topic. Another aspect to consider in this assessment will be the preparation of a non-compulsory evaluable work whose deadline for delivery will be the day of the exam of the ordinary call. | |

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 10.00% | |
| Test | 70.00% | 70.00% | |
| Laboratory sessions | 20.00% | 20.00% | |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The course has two blocks, a theoretical block, and a practical block. Once the theoretical and practical blocks have been evaluated, the final grade of the course will be calculated based on the following percentages: Theoretical evaluation: 70%, Practical evaluation: 20%, Other activities: 10%. The course will be passed when the grade equals or exceeds 5. The grades of both blocks above 5 can be kept for the following two courses.
The theoretical block will consist of 2 partial exams, the second one coinciding with the final exam of the ordinary exam, or this same final exam in the ordinary exam. The 2 partial tests will have a weight of 40% in the first one and 60% in the second one of the final grade of theory. Students who do not pass the first partial exam with more than a 4 will have to take and pass the final exam in the ordinary exam. Students with a grade of 4 or higher in the first exam will take the second partial exam coinciding with the ordinary final exam unless they expressly inform the professor in charge of their decision to take the final exam. The second partial exam will not have a minimum grade for its weighting together with the first one.
In the practical block will be valued the application in the laboratory of the previously learned knowledge, the acquired skill in the handling of chemical substances as well as of the laboratory material, the attitude of the student, the understanding of the experiments carried out, and the adequate elaboration of the laboratory notebook.
The student's participation in class will be valued by asking questions, solving problems, doing proposed works, and participating in the discussions that take place in class. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The course has two blocks, a theoretical block, and a practical block. Once the theoretical and practical blocks have been evaluated, the final grade of the course will be calculated based on the following percentages: Theoretical evaluation: 70%, Practical evaluation: 20%, Other activities: 10%. The course will be passed when the grade equals or exceeds 5. The grades of both blocks above 5 can be kept for the following two courses.
Each of the parts will be specified in a single final test where these aspects will be evaluated. In the practical block, the application of knowledge associated with the performance of tasks in the laboratory will be assessed. Any student may change to the non-continuous evaluation mode if he/she has not completed at least 50% of all evaluable activities or if the class period has ended. Any student may change to the non-continuous evaluation modality if he/she has not completed at least 50% of all the evaluable activities or if the class period has ended.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The theory grades of the theoretical block and the practical block will be kept by default for the resit/retake evaluation after the final exam in case of being above 4 in both modalities (continuous and non-continuous). In these cases, the student will be able to request not to keep any of his/her grades if he/she considers it appropriate. There will be a single global evaluation test in which the theoretical and practical blocks will be included. Students will have to complete the blocks not passed (theoretical, practical, or both). The resit/retake grade will follow the distribution criteria applied in the final exam.
After this call, the grades of the theoretical and practical blocks that are above 5 can be kept for the following two courses.
After this call, the grades of the theoretical and practical blocks that are above 5 can be kept for the following two courses.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Only students who meet the requirements set forth in the Student Evaluation Regulations of the University of Castilla-La Mancha will be eligible for this call. They will be evaluated according to the criteria applied in the resit/retake call.
