Content
The first part of the course deals with the elements of general chemistry and thermodynamics for the understanding of chemical structures, interactions and reactivity. In a second part, the main classes of organic compounds will be presented as well as the main chemical reactions useful to understand some biochemical or biological phenomena.
Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The course is based on :- Lectures given in person and/or by video-conference
- video clips describing some concepts covered during the course
- exercise sessions
- practical work sessions (laboratories).
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Students are evaluated on the basis of:1) their work during the quarter and
2) a final exam.
The final grade will be based on:
- a written exam at the end of the semester
- a written quiz during the semester
- two laboratory reports
Participation in the practical works and tests organized during the course is mandatory.
Other information
The student taking this course must have basic notions of chemistry such as the notion of mole, atomic, molar and relative molecular mass, Avogadro number, density, concentration and density. He/she must also know the symbols of chemical elements, the nomenclature used in general chemistry and the main organic chemical functions.
Online resources
The slides used during the lectures, the video capsules as well as the statements of the exercises and labs are made available via Moodle:

Evaluation methods
Students are evaluated on the basis of:
1) their work during the semester and
2) a final exam.
The final grade will be based on:
- an oral exam at the end of the semester done by video-conference (16 points)
- an oral quiz during the semester that will be done by video-conference and that will give a bonus of 2 points for the final quote if the quote obtained for the quiz is higher than or equal to 12/20.
- two laboratory reports (4 points)
Participation in the practical works and quizz organized during the course is mandatory.
The final evaluation will focus on all the material seen through the course and the practical works during the semester. It will consist of an oral exam for which a preparation time (during which the student will be proctered by video-conference) will be allowed. In addition, the exam will be an open book exam insofar as no check will be done by the professor on the documenst used by the student during the exam.1) their work during the semester and
2) a final exam.
