Assessment
Unaided Work:
Independent work in acquirement of theoretic knowledge by writing chemical formulas and chemical equations in class studies in assistance of lecturer and independently at home; Independent work in purpose of examinations of knowledge (tests, colloquia); Work with literature, gathering of information about certain substance or product and presentation in lesson. Tasks: • to develop logic; • to develop patience and precision required at work in the laboratory; • to develop ability to present ones investigation, the ability to hear other thoughts and to discuss; • to fill in the study course survey, evaluating the existing course content and creating proposals for updating the course.
Assessment Criteria:
The final rating forms in a following way: • 50% of it form average ratings of tests obtained during the course acquisition time (colloquia and presentation); • other 50% form the rating of the examination. . It assesses the student's skills: • to name an inorganic and organic substance according to its chemical formula; • draw the chemical formula of the inorganic and organic substance after the given name; • to recognize the functional groups in the molecule of an organic compound and to determine its belonging to a specific class of compounds; • describe the chemical properties of each class of compounds; • to predict the possibilities of interconversion of inorganic and organic compounds.
Final Examination (Full-Time):		Exam (Written)
Final Examination (Part-Time):		Exam (Written)
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		After studies students will be able: • to identify the main classes of inorganic compounds; • to describe the main characteristics of each class and ability of mutual transformations; • to identify functional groups of organic compounds and main classes of organic compounds; • to use the international nomenclature system IUPAC; • to describe the main characteristics of organic compounds in accordance of belonging to certain class of compounds.
Skills:		After studies students will be able: • to collect information on certain organic compound (food spice) and to prepare presentation; • to perform simple experiments based on their theoretical knowledge.
Competencies:		A student who has completed the basic chemistry course: • will be able to evaluate various substances, incl. belonging of basic nutrients and spices to a certain class of compounds; • will predict their properties and reactions in various food preparation and biochemical processes.
