510601 - MEDICINAL AND TOXICOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY 2

Student performance can be assessed at the end of the lectures or at one of the official exams. There will be two in-itinere tests, one written intermediate test lasting 90 minutes, with short-answer and open-ended questions.
The short-answer questions (varying in number from 4 to 6, depending on the difficulty with a score ranging from 3 to 4 points) can be of different types: (1) asked to report or (2) to recognise the structure of a class of drugs treated during the course and to briefly describe their mechanism of action, (3) to report the general structure of a class of drugs, structure-activity relationships and therapeutic uses. Open questions and an oral exam upon completion of the course. The open questions (2 or 3, which will be awarded a mark ranging from 6 to 8 points depending on the difficulty) involve a full discussion of a class of drugs including the rationale behind their discovery and specific use. The oral test consists of the presentation and discussion of an in-depth report on a specific topic chosen from the programme, and a test of the student's general knowledge of the other topics presented in the course. The aim is to test the student's level of understanding as well as his or her ability to synthesise, explain clearly and communicate. The aim is to stimulate the student towards a professional approach to unfamiliar problems/topics. Conditions for passing the course: passing both the in itinere tests and the final test, which consists of a written test lasting 90 minutes and an oral test. The short-answer questions (varying in number from 4 to 6, depending on the difficulty with a score ranging from 3 to 4 points) can be of different types: (1) required to report or (2) to recognise the structure of a class of drugs treated during the course and to briefly describe their mechanism of action, (3) to report the general structure of a class of drugs, structure-activity relationships and therapeutic uses. Open questions and an oral exam upon completion of the course. The open questions (2 or 3, which will be awarded a mark ranging from 6 to 8 points depending on the difficulty) involve a complete discussion of a class of drugs including the rationale behind their discovery and their specific use. The oral test consists of verifying knowledge of the topics presented in the course, in particular those relating to the drug design, or the presentation and discussion of an in-depth report on a specific topic treated during the course. The test is graded in thirtieths (0-30). In the case of in itinere tests, the final mark of the test corresponds to the average of the marks. The results of the written test will be announced via the essetre platform. The written exams are available to the students.
The examination procedures will be further clarified during the course. For DSA students, learning assessment will be carried out in accordance with the SAISD centre statement.
