2. Pre-Requisites

You must have knowledge of General Chemistry of any Science Degree

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

The student of Food Science and Technology must acquire the conceptual, manual and technical tools that allow him/her to exercise professionally in the field of Food Science and Technology. For this, it is essential that they acquire a solid knowledge of the foundations and bases of Chemistry. The subject of Chemistry, in this grade, is divided into the subjects of General Chemistry, of a basic nature and taught in the first year, and Extension of Chemistry, of a basic nature and taught in the second year. Both subjects are intended for students to deepen their understanding of the chemical concepts they have acquired during their secondary education, to complete them and to acquire the necessary skills for their application to practical cases that will be presented both in their future professional life and when taking other subjects of the curriculum.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System

Evaluation System	Continuous assessment	Non-continuous evaluation *	Description
Laboratory sessions	20.00%	20.00%	Attendance at all practical laboratory sessions is mandatory. In the practical evaluation a weight of 50% will be given to the accomplishment of the practices and overcoming of the same ones, and a weight of 50% to the written test. It is necessary to obtain in this written evaluation a mark equal or superior to 4 (out of 10) to be weighted in the final mark.
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies	20.00%	0.00%	As part of the continuous assessment, students will take several tests throughout the course and solve several problems similar to those seen in class.
Final test	60.00%	80.00%	An exam will be taken with the theoretical contents of the subject.
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:

To pass the evaluation you must obtain a minimum average score of 5 out of 10 with a minimum of 4 points in the final test and the laboratory exam. In addition, participation in other activities proposed throughout the course will be assessed, such as PeerWise (which will raise the mark by a maximum of 0.5 points provided that more than a 5 has been obtained in the exam), problem solving and tests.
Non-continuous evaluation:

If a student does not wish to participate in continuous assessment, he/she must communicate this at the beginning of the course.
"Any student may change to the non-continuous assessment mode, by the procedure established by the centre, provided that he/she has not participated during the period of classes in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject. If a student has reached this 50% of assessable activities or if, in any case, the period of classes has ended, he/she will be considered in continuous assessment without the possibility of changing assessment modality". (Student assessment regulations).
There will be an exam of the theory-problem part and another exam of the practical part.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:

A test will be held with theoretical and practical questions corresponding to all lessons, which will make up 80% of the grade. The remaining 20% will correspond to the evaluation of the laboratory practices; the student will keep for this call the mark of the practice or theory exam of the ordinary call as long as it is higher than 5.
In order to pass the evaluation it is necessary to obtain a minimum average mark of 5 points out of 10.

Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:

There will be a test with theoretical and practical questions corresponding to all the theoretical and practical subjects of the course.
