Learning Objectives

CHIMICA GENERALE E INORGANICA
The aim of the course is to provide the student with the general basics of chemistry as well as the understanding of topics related to it and developed in other courses.
Organic Chemistry
The course focuses on the fundamental chemistry of carbon compounds and an appreciation of its relevance to biology and toxicology. Topics will include nomenclature, structure, properties, synthesis, and reactions, of the major functional groups of organic compounds.
The fundamental objective is to stimulate the student to apply his reasoning skills in the study of matter, limiting the mnemonic effort to the learning of a restricted set of the basic principles of Organic Chemistry.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
Organic Chemistry
The lectures for this course will be a combination of classic blackboard lectures and PowerPoint.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes, in line with the planned programme .

In case of students with disabilities and/or SLD, in accordance with the Italian Law (170/2010), it is possible to adapt assessment and study methods, without modifying learning objectives; this support includes dispensatory measures and compensatory tools. To request the service, the student must inform professor at the beginning of the course or at least 30 days before the exam.

Furthermore, it is possible to contact Prof. Teresa Musumenci, CInAP (Centro per l’Integrazione Attiva e Partecipata - Servizi per le Disabilità e/o DSA) referent teacher of our Department.

Information for students with disabilities and/or DSA.
As a guarantee of equal opportunities and in compliance with current laws, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on their specific needs and on teaching objectives of the discipline. It is also possible to ask the departmental contacts of CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or DSAs).
