Learning Outcomes of UE

Description of the matter : the quantum model of atom, the electronic structure , the wave model,  the periodic table, the chemical bond , the chemical bonding in the wave model, the geometry of covalent assemblies
Intermolecular interactions
Introduction to thermodynamics and  chemical kinetics
Acid-base equilibria, pH

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

To provide an accurate description of the structure of matter and make use of all the physico-chemical laws (kinetic and thermodynamic) which describe chemical changes. To provide the students with the basis of general chemistry.

Prior Experience

To know the basis of chemistry (notion of mole, to balance a chemical reaction, name of inorganic products)

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face
• Graded assignment(s) - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q1 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works. The mark of the practical works is obtained during the Q1 and is composed for 50% of the marks attributed to the reports of each manipulation, and for 50% of the mark obtained at the laboratory exam taking place at the end of Q1.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE resit assessment (BAB1)

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)

The exam is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE resit assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again the tests concerning the practical works.

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q3 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q3 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q3 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again during Q3 the tests concerning the practical works.
