Corso di laurea in Scienze Biologiche (L-13)

At the end of the course students should have skills in: IUPAC nomencalature, functional groups and stereochemisty, definition of nucleophilicity and electrophilicity as key concepts to understand reactivity in organic reactions, functional groups reactivity, organic chemistry and biologicsl connections.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING Acquisition of theoretical and applicative skills concerning chemical and biochemical perspectives 
MAKING JUDGEMENTS Acquisition of aware judgment autonomy concerning evaluation and interpretation of the reactivity of organic compounds
COMMUNICATION SKILLS Acquisition of suitable expertise and skills for the communications concerning the importance of chemistry  in biology

Teaching methods Lectures: 80 hours .

The examination consists of a written test structured in 10 questions . The score of every question can vary from 0 to 3  points. Marks are given in 30th. The questions concern both DESCRIPTIVE aspects of organic chemistry (electronic structure, nomenclature, isomerism, stereoisomerism), and REACTIVITY aspects (most important reaction of functional groups, reactions mechanism).

Remarks:
In each examination session a pair of dates are always fixed. To attend the test the students need to be registered on the MYUNITO platform.   In case of failure of the system  the students have to contact the professors.
