2. Pre-Requisites

Not established, although it is recomendable to have studied General Organic Chemistry

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Organic Chemistry III is included in the Fundamentals of Chemistry module in the Chemistry Degree. It is designed to develop the fundamental concepts and data of Organic Chemistry, to show the experimental evidence that supports these concepts, to apply these data and concepts to the resolution of chemical problems and to demonstrate that this subject evolves rapidly and that it plays a key role in technological developments, in very diverse fields, from biology to materials science, influencing all aspects of daily life.

The subject Organic Chemistry III is compulsory and corresponds to one semester of the third year of the degree. The subject consists of 6 credits, of which 4.5 are theoretical and the remaining 1.5 are practical. The course aims to delve into the knowledge acquired in Organic Chemistry I and II, applying it to Organic Synthesis, as well as increasing their skills in the laboratory by proposing simple syntheses with applications in everyday life.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Laboratory sessions 15.00% 15.00% The practical credits will be graded jointly by means of a written
test, and by means of daily laboratory work in which aspects
such as: skill, order, capacity for initiative will be taken into
account.
Mid-term tests 35.00% 0.00% A 2-hour progress test will be conducted to assess the followup
of the learning process. In this section a minimum of 4.0/10
is required.
Final test 35.00% 85.00% A final exam will be taken (those students who are exempted
from taking the final exam this percentage will be added to the
progress tests)
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 15.00% 0.00% The resolution of problems by the student will be positively
valued, as well as their active participation in class. On the
other hand, the student will be able to increase his mark
delivering seminars to the teacher.
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:
    Class attendance is recommended, although it is not mandatory.
    Practical class attendance is compulsory, and it is also an essential requirement to pass the subject of Organic Chemistry III.
    In the continuous assessment mode, a minimum of 4/10 will be required in the progress tests and the average must be equal to or greater than 5/10.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
