2. Pre-Requisites
"Prerequisites have not been established, although it is recommended to have passed the subjects of Chemistry I and Chemistry II, and it is advisable to have knowledge of organic compound formulation and basic understanding of their structure. However, Topic 1 covers Formulation and Nomenclature of Organic Compounds."
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
"More than 95% of known chemical compounds are organic, and the majority of essential compounds for life, as well as the three main types of food - carbohydrates, fats, and proteins - are organic. The medications that heal us, the clothes we wear, and the primary sources of energy - wood, coal, natural gas, and oil - are organic compounds.
The application of plastic materials in the manufacturing of everyday objects is another example of how difficult it is to imagine an aspect of our daily life that is not influenced by Organic Chemistry.
That is why the study of organic compounds and their characterization methods is essential not only for the training of a good professional in oenology but also to understand life itself."

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Theoretical papers assessment | 10.00% | 0.00% | "Completion of exercises and problems assigned by the instructor related to each of the topics. Evaluation is based on the appropriate resolution of these tasks." |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | "The completion of laboratory practices is mandatory. The general attitude in the laboratory and the proper execution of the experimental part will be evaluated and count for 5% of the final grade. The development of a laboratory notebook including a report for each practice conducted will be required. Evaluation will consider the numerical operations performed, results obtained, response to the questions of each practice, and clarity and presentation of the report, accounting for 15% of the final grade." |
| Final test | 30.00% | 80.00% | "Final assessment exam consisting of solving theoretical-practical questions and exercises related to the entire subject." |
| Progress Tests | 40.00% | 0.00% | "Evaluation tests corresponding to each topic 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 course, it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in the sum of all the evaluation activities carried out throughout the course. To pass the practical work, which is a mandatory activity, a grade of 4 or higher is required."
-
Non-continuous evaluation:"In the non-continuous assessment mode, a final exam will be conducted, which will assess all the competencies to be acquired by the student (80%). To take this exam, it is necessary to have completed the mandatory activities: practical work and the corresponding practice notebook (20%). To pass the practical work, which is a mandatory activity, a grade of 4 or higher is required.
The correction of the exam will consider the following aspects: the level of information provided in the responses, demonstrated comprehension, as well as the rigor, organization, and clarity of the presentation."

A practical exercise will be carried out to assess the competencies acquired in laboratory work, which is a mandatory activity (20%). Students who have completed the laboratory work can keep the grade obtained in that activity, provided it is 4 or higher.
In the correction of the exam, the following aspects will be considered: the level of information provided in the responses, demonstrated comprehension, as well as rigor, organization, and clarity of presentation."
