- Carbohydrates
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The chemistry course largely gives way to an experimental approach to Chemistry. We are confident that students will be more receptive to a chemistry described in a practical way, with a focus on the applications that flow from it. The proposed curriculum is intentionally limited to the basic concepts of chemistry in order to ensure that students will gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals.
A second objective of this course is to check the ability of reasoning, the acquired knowledge and the understanding of the subject.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledge of some basic organic chemistry learned in secondary school.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
- 4 laboratories of 4 hours are programmed to allow students to apply and perceive for themselves the practical implications of the theoretical course.
- These laboratories include the application of the concepts of pharmaceutical synthesis, chromatography, stereochemistry, study of proteins and sugars, or the identification of organic functions.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Theoretical course: 22 lessons
Exercise sessions: 10 sessions are scheduled for this course.
eCampus platform: an e-learning platform is available to support students throughout this course.
You will find:
- PPT course
- drill exercises
- Query results
- a discussion forum to present your questions to assistants
Recommended or required readings
PPT slides of the theoritical course are available for students on e-campus. A reference book is recommended: "Organic Chemistry" by Paul Arnaud (Dunod edition). Lab notes and exercises, summary tables are also available. Students may be in possession of a molecular model for all exams and tests.
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions ) AND oral exam
Out-of-session test(s)
Additional information:
A written interrogation of exercises is organized before the session. The end-of-the-year evaluation (June session and August-September session) consists of three exams: a written and an oral exam for the theoretical part of the course, a written exam for the exercise part (the students dispensed do not have to pass this part of the exam). The practical work (lab) is also evaluated during the whole of the 2nd quadrimester.
The distribution of points is as follows:
Theory : 6/9 of the overall score
- Oral : 50%
- written : 50%
Work placement(s)
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
All organizational information is included on the e-campus platform of the course (PPT slides, course organization ...).
