Type of delivery of the course
Lectures in the classroom, numerical exercises of chemical calculations, problem-solving.Type of evaluation
The written exam consists of solving problems of stoichiometry, nomenclature, and representation of chemical formulas (2,5-3 h). Passing the written test allows admission to the oral test. The oral exam consists of a written test on 4-5 topics from all the topics of the course, followed by an interview.
