2. Pre-Requisites
There are no prerequisites for this subject, although it is recommended that the student have completed Chemistry in High School. Also, it is advisable that the student is familiar with the nomenclature and formulation of inorganic and organic compounds
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The subject of Chemistry Foundations intends that the student deepen the understanding of the chemical concepts that he has acquired during the Baccalaureate, complete them and acquire the bases to acquire the necessary skills for their application to the practical cases that will be presented both in his future professional as when taking other subjects of the study plan.

General Chemistry is an annual basic subject, which will be taught in the first year and constitutes an essential starting point for the correct learning of other more specific subjects in the different areas of Chemistry.

5. Objectives or Learning Outcomes
Course learning outcomes
Description
Know the basic concepts and principles of Chemistry, so that the essential foundations are established so that they can successfully face the study of the different branches of the discipline.
Know and correctly handle the different units.
Homogenize the knowledge of Chemistry already acquired by students in Secondary School courses and complete certain aspects that have not been previously studied with the necessary depth.
Achieve that the student acquires the basic terminology of Chemistry and knows how to use it, as well as being able to establish relationships between the different concepts.
Encourage and promote in the student all those values ¿¿and attitudes inherent to scientific activity.
Additional outcomes

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Self Evaluation and Co-evaluation 5.00% 0.00% They are tests where the student will be able to evaluate the degree in which they acquire the skills developed
Progress Tests 15.00% 0.00% In these tests the student must demonstrate that the corresponding knowledge and skills have been acquired. As you are able to progress, the student will be able to compensate them in the final test
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 15.00% 0.00% The resolution of problems by the student will be positively assessed at the proposal of the teacher.
Assessment of active participation 5.00% 0.00% Attendance and active participation in classes will be positively valued
Final test 60.00% 100.00% henever the grade of 5 points is exceeded in each of the two parts into which the subject is divided. To pass each part of the subject, it will be necessary to pass the corresponding formulation tests, both in Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. The approval of each of these parts will remain throughout the academic year.
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:
    All proposed evaluable activities will be taken into account. The final grade will be obtained considering the percentage of each of these activities
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    There will be an exam in which the theoretical and practical concepts of the subject will be fully evaluated. The final grade will correspond to the exam grade.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
There will be an exam in which the theoretical and practical knowledge will be fully evaluated.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
There will be an exam in which the theoretical and practical knowledge will be fully evaluated.
