Bases of organic chemistry WF-OB-PCH1
The aim of the lecture is to introduce students to the world of chemical language, models and laws in the field of organic chemistry. The course includes lectures presenting the classification of organic compounds, functional groups and the nomenclature of organic compounds. The most important reactions for obtaining organic compounds and the physical and chemical properties of compounds such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols and phenols, acids, ketones, aldehydes, acid derivatives and sugars will be discussed.
Teaching methods:
Lectures with presentations and discussion. Seminar lectures conducted by students are planned (for those who are interested).
Curriculum content:
1. Alkanes
2. Cycloalkanes
3. Alkenes
4. Alkynes
5. Arenes
6. Alcohols
7. Carbonyl compounds
8. Carboxylic acids and their derivatives
9. Amines
10. Sugars

Learning outcomes
The student applies basic concepts and terminology in the field of organic chemistry (T.01-T.10), defines basic laws of organic chemistry (T.01-T. 10), applies the nomenclature of organic compounds (T.01-T.10), determines the physical and chemical properties of basic groups of organic compounds and their applications (T.01-T.10), lists examples of methods for obtaining basic organic compounds (T.01-T.10).
The student names organic compounds (T.01-T.10), analyses the potential impact of organic compounds on the environment and human health based on their physical and chemical properties (T.01-T.10).
The student is prepared for a substantive discussion on the general scope of organic chemistry and its importance for the environment and people.

Assessment criteria
Two excused absences are permitted. The grade for the course is based on the written examination during the examination period. In order to be admitted to the examination, students must obtain a passing grade for the practical classes. The written examination covers general open-ended questions and tasks related to the nomenclature of organic compounds. The maximum number of points in the examination is 40.
The grade is based on the number of points obtained (an additional maximum of 3 points can be obtained for preparing and presenting a presentation on the discussed topic – groups of compounds during the lecture):
37-40 points - 5
33-36 points - 4.5
29-32 points - 4
25-28 points - 3.5
21-24 points - 3
