2. Pre-Requisites

They have not been established, but it is advisable to have passed the subject Physical Chemistry II: Introduction to Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy.

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

In this subject the application of Quantum Mechanics extends to the study of polyatomic molecules in order to obtain the molecular structure and properties of them. This allows to address the spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules, filling in the contents of the "Physical Chemistry II: Introduction to Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy". Likewise, the Statistical Thermodynamics is presented, which allows to relate the molecular properties with the macroscopic thermodynamic properties ("Physical Chemistry I: Chemical Thermodynamics").


In this subject, computational calculations are used that are currently considered an essential tool in the different branches of Chemistry.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Practicum and practical activities reports assessment 10.00% 10.00% Review of results reports
Laboratory sessions 10.00% 10.00% Continuous evaluation in the laboratory
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 20.00% 0.00% Follow-up in seminar classes
Mid-term tests 30.00% 0.00% Exam with questions and problems about the contents taught in the subject
Final test 30.00% 80.00% Exam with questions and problems about the contents taught in the subject. It will be 60% when the test involves the evaluation of the whole syllabus 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:
    1. Written exam with questions and problems about the content taught in the course (60% of the grade). This percentage can be divided into two partial exams (progress test and final test) or one final exam (final test).
    2. Continuous evaluation of laboratory work (10%) including the adequate preparation of the memory of results and test questions (10%).
    3. Continuous assessment of learning based on problem solving in the seminar hours (20%). The student will be asked to submit resolved exercises, solve different issues related to the subject, resolution of practical cases ...
    4.To apply the continuous assessment they must have at least a 4.5 in the progress tests (written exam)
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    1. Written exam with questions and problems about the contents taught in the course, including questions about practices (80% of the mark). This exam will be different from the one carried out for those who follow the continuous evaluation with the aim of evaluating all the competences of the subject.
    2-20% the mark of the practices (work in the laboratory, report of the work done and results of the test questionnaires).

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
1. Exam with questions and problems about the content taught in the subject (60% of the grade).
2. Continuous evaluation of laboratory work (10%) including the adequate preparation of the results memory and test questionnaires (10%).
3. Continuous assessment of problem-based learning in seminar hours (20%). The student will be asked to submit resolved exercises, solve different issues related to the subject, resolution of practical cases ...
The laboratory grade is kept for all students. If the laboratory has NOT been done, the subject will NOT be passed in any case. If the laboratory has been suspended in the ordinary call, the extraordinary call will include practical questions / activities.
The seminar grade is kept if it is higher than 5 during the continuous assessment course. Otherwise, the extraordinary call will have additional questions of the type required in the seminars.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
1. Written exam with questions and problems about the contents taught in the course, including questions about practices (80% of the mark). This exam will be different from the one carried out for those who follow the continuous evaluation with the aim of evaluating all the competences of the subject.
2-20% the mark of the practices (work in the laboratory, report of the work done and results of the test questionnaires).
The student must have passed the laboratory in a previous call.
