Annotation -
General Chemistry is fundamental to understanding other chemical disciplines. The subject deals with atomic structure, the theory of chemical bond, the periodic character of physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds and with the course of chemical reactions. Inorganic chemistry gives a systematic survey of chemical elements and their compounds on the basis of the location of the elements in the periodic table; special emphasis is put on biological and pharmaceutical importance.

Course completion requirements -

Requirements for getting the credit:

1. Attendance at all seminars
2. More than 60% of points from the credit tests



Conditions for the examination

 

1. The credit getting shall be the condition for the exam taking. The credit must be got one day before the exam’s taking at the latest.

2. Registration for an examination shall be done electronically through Internet in the Student Information System (SIS). The student may not be registered for more terms of the same exam concurrently.

3. The list of themes for the exam is placed in the study materials on the faculty website.

4. The examination will start in the form of a written test.

5. Students will have 50 minutes for solving the problems.

6. Students will use only a calculator and a pen. It will be strictly forbidden to use a mobile phone during the exam.

7. When student obtains 10 points and more from this part (maximum is 16 points), he or she will continue with the oral part where a student answers two questions – one in General Chemistry and one in Inorganic Chemistry.

8. The list of oral exam questions is placed in the study materials on the faculty website

9. The examiner shall record the result of the examination in the student’s record (Student Information System).

10. The student may take the examination from the registered subject for maximum three times, i.e. he has the right for two corrective dates; an extraordinary corrective date is not allowed.

11. If the student passes the written part and fails in the oral part, the next time he or she will continue only with the oral part.

 

Written exam test:

 

Students will find:

6 questions without given answers – they will obtain 2 points per one correct answer = 12 points

and

4 question with given 4 answers – they will obtain 1 point per correct answer = 4 points.

The maximum amount of points = 16.

 

The successful written examination passing means acquiring more than 10 points.
