Assessment methods
The exam consists of two parts, the first part is aimed at determining the knowledge related to medicinal chemistry and anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and antiviral properties. The second part is aimed at determining the preparation on food chemistry, animal husbandry, chemistry for agriculture, and environmental implications. Each query starts with the resolution of a synthesis exercise to be carried out on the blackboard. Later the student discusses the theoretical aspects raised from the exercise. The score is splitedt equally between the two modules, and each module gives a score of 60% determined by the outcome of the exercize, the remaining 40% from the discussion on the part of theory. Overall the examination takes about 40 minutes. Upon request, the student may ask to face a written test.
