- Exercises:
- Students discuss problems covering all topics of the lectures on the black board
Qualification-goals/Competencies:
- After successful completion of the course, students have a fundamental knowledge of organic chemistry. They are confident using structural formulas of substance classes and functional groups presented in the course. They are confident in the nomenclature and can correctly describe relative and absolute configurations of molecules.
- Students know the most important reactions, reaction types and reaction principles of organic chemistry. They understand the structural properties of functional groups and are able to formulate organic chemical reaction mechanisms of these groups.
- Students can transfer and apply the acquired skills to problems of other branches of chemistry and related sciences and are thus able to participate in continuative courses.
