Estudia

• CB1 - Que els estudiants sàpiguen aplicar els coneixements adquirits i la seva capacitat de resolució de problemes en entorns nous o poc coneguts dins de contextos més amplis (o multidisciplinaris) relacionats amb la seva àrea d'estudi.
• CB2 - Que els estudiants siguin capaços d'integrar coneixements i enfrontar-se a la complexitat de formular judicis a partir d'una informació que, sent incompleta o limitada, inclogui reflexions sobre les responsabilitats socials i ètiques vinculades a l'aplicació dels seus coneixements i judicis.
• CB3 - Que els estudiants sàpiguen comunicar les seves conclusions i els coneixements i raons últimes que les sustenten a públics especialitzats i no especialitzats d'una manera clara i sense ambigüitats, fent servir com a llengua vehicular l'anglès.
• CE1 - Identificar els principis fonamentals en què es basa la química organometàl · lica i utilitzar-los per descriure i formular mecanismes de reacció.
• CE2 - Identificar els principis bàsics de la catàlisi homogènia, heterogènia, asimètrica i bioinspirada, reconèixer els processos en què opera i formular les seves principals aplicacions en síntesi i en processos de producció d'energia.

Activitats d'avaluació:

The student must get a minimum mark of 4 for each of the evaluation activities to be considered in the final global evaluation mark.

Only the written assessment can be repeated. In the case that a student repeats the written assessment the new mark will substitute the old mark independently of whether this represents an improvement. Students wishing to repeat the written assessment must notify the lecturer at least one week before the official date for resits.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
A "Not presented" mark will only be considered if the student has not carried out any of the evaluation activities.

Avaluació única:
An exam to evaluate the understanding of the most relevant concepts in the course by means of questions of both the theoretical foundations and practical application. This exam can be retaken. The student must get a minimum mark of 5.0

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
An overall minimum mark of 5.0 will be required.

Student-teacher communication will be permanent by email, and where appropriate through personalized tutorials by Google Meet. Joint class tutorials will be organized on a regular basis.

Communication and doubt resolution will be done in the classroom or by email or through personalized tutorials by Google Meet.
