Principles of stereochemistry 1200-2EN-PRSTLE3M

The course is divided into stationary part (lecture) and e-learning occupations. During lecture students get familiar with well‐established terms used to define principles in stereochemistry. The e-learning exercises are aimed at of practical applications of stereochemistry principles presented during the lecture, and at extending the theoretical knowledge.

Learning outcomes

Students should learn the basic terminology and principles of stereochemistry. They should be able to use this knowledge to solve problems involving the application of stereochemistry principles in the organic chemistry laboratory and demonstrate a deep understanding of issues related to the importance of stereochemistry in chemistry, biology and medicine.

Assessment criteria

The grade is average of partial grades from homework and quizzes (e-learning course) and final test score. Student should obtained minimum 60% of homework and quizzes, and minimum 50% of final test.

Practical placement

Does not concern.
