Organic Chemistry I 310-ERS-CHOR1E

The course is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I (3310-ERS-CHOR1E).

w sali

The aim of lectures and seminars is to provide students with foundational knowledge in organic chemistry, enabling them to discuss compound structures, including spatial configuration, and their physicochemical properties. Lecture content will cover the mechanisms of fundamental reactions. The laboratory component aims to equip students with essential techniques for isolating and purifying organic compounds, coupled with the analysis of spectral data. Participants will develop the manual skills required for lab work, learn to plan and conduct experiments, draw conclusions, and document their findings in reports. A key objective is to instill a strong understanding of safety protocols, particularly the safe handling of chemicals and disposal of waste. Furthermore, the course is designed to foster skills in time management, independent problem solving, and effective teamwork.

KNOWLEDGE:

The student knows and understands issues in the field of organic chemistry, enabling the discussion of the structure of organic compounds (including their spatial configuration) (KP6_WG1 and KP6_WG5), their physical and chemical properties (KP6_WG3), the explanation of reaction mechanisms (KP6_WG4), and the use of chemical terminology and nomenclature at an advanced level (KP6_WG2).

The student knows and understands the methods of synthesis, isolation, purification, and identification of organic compounds (KP6_WG7).

The student knows and understands issues in the field of health and safety, and in particular, knows the principles of the safe handling of chemicals and the selection and disposal of chemical waste (KP6_WG13).

SKILLS:

The student is able to identify and solve chemical problems based on acquired knowledge, including complex and atypical problems; plans and carries out experimental research (the student is able to plan and perform the synthesis of organic compounds, including multi-step syntheses) (KP6_UW1 and KP6_UW2), has mastered the manual skills necessary for laboratory work and is able to operate necessary laboratory equipment and scientific apparatus (KP6_UW3).

The student is able to observe experiments and draw conclusions from them, as well as prepare the results in written form (report) (KP6_UW4).

They are able to purify and identify organic compounds using classical and spectroscopic methods (KP6_UW2 and KP6_UW6).

The student adheres to the health and safety rules recommended in a laboratory environment (KP6_UO1). They are able to work in a group as well as independently (KP6_UU1).

SOCIAL COMPETENCES:

The student demonstrates an interest in chemical processes occurring in the environment (KP6_KO1).

Assessment and Evaluation

Lecture: The assessment consists of a final written exam on the lecture material. To be admitted to the exam, students must pass the laboratory and seminar components.

Seminar: Written tests. Systematic evaluation of work during the classes.

Laboratory:

(a) Preparation and practical work: Evaluation of practical skills, safe laboratory practices, and successful completion of experiments.

(b) Theoretical Understanding: Assessment via short written tests on the theory related to the experiments.

(c) Lab Reports: Timely submission and quality of written lab reports.

(d) Continuous Assessment: Systematic evaluation of preparation and engagement during all classes.

Assessment criteria based on the UwB regulations.

Flexible forms of assessment may be introduced through mutual agreement between the lecturer and student, following universal design principles. Such arrangements must be established at the beginning of the course.
