- TEACHING OUTCOMES
Teaching outcomes |
Organic Chemistry has made a significant contribution to improving human life and generally holds an important place in the natural sciences. This is because this particular field of Chemistry is the basis of all life sciences but also because organic compounds are a particularly convenient system for applying organic analysis techniques. It has made a decisive contribution to the development of specialized fields such as agricultural chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, and more. The choice of subjects, the way of teaching as well as the degree of deepening of the course are completely oriented and harmonized with the learning objectives of the Department and its individual Orientations. Therefore, it is intended, on the one hand, to fill possible gaps in students’ knowledge from their secondary education and, on the other hand, to familiarize them with new issues concerning fundamental principles of other courses in the current Department. The practical part of the course, which as a Second Semester Lab, undertakes to initiate and train students in techniques applied to the isolation, reception, and partial identification of chemicals of biological interest, also contributes decisively to the above. In this way students are prepared for their training in more specialized laboratories to follow in the following semesters or in the Orientations they choose.
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
