Course history

Introduction

Eksamen bedømmes av to interne sensorer. Emnet er underlagt tilsynssensur, i henhold til retningslinjer for oppnevning og bruk av sensorer.

Required preliminary courses

Emnet omfatter følgende hovedtemaer: Fagdidaktikk, hinduisme, buddhisme, sikhisme, nyreligiøsitet, samisk religionshistorie, humanisme, livssyn, etikk og filosofi.

 

I tråd med vektlegginga på skolefaget i trinn 1-7 legger studiefaget opp til en systematisk, aktuell og praktisk tilnærming, der en særlig ser på arbeidet i skolen med av fortellinger, høytider, etikk, estetikk og på ulike former for religions- og livssynsutøvelse.

 

I forbindelse med praksis skal en særlig arbeide med evaluering av digitale ressurser og andre læremidler, begynneropplæring og hjem - skolesamarbeid og med utvikling av en tolerant lærings- og klasseromkultur.

 

Studentene skal bli kjent med sentral forskning i fagets didaktikk og i relevante fagemner, særlig i spørsmål knyttet til tidlig utvikling hos barn når det gjelder religion, livssyn og etikk, og med de kulturelle forhold som ungdom i dag vokser opp under og som er avgjørende for danningsprosessen deres.

 

I filosofi blir eldre filosofihistorie vektlagt, og i etikk er et utvalg emner fra elevorientert områdeetikk for denne aldersgruppen prioritert.

 

Arbeidet med de grunnleggende ferdighetene er i hovedsak knyttet til utvikling av muntlige og skriftlige ferdigheter med vekt på arbeid med fortellingsstoff.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • can explain structures and properties of important functional groups in active pharmaceutical ingredients
  • can explain the connection between organic molecules’ chemical structure and reactivity
  • can explain the concepts of resonance, isometry and stereochemical ratios, including identifying the chiral centres in active pharmaceutical ingredients and naming the correct stereochemistry
  • can explain key types of reactions and reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry

Skills

The student

  • can carry out chemical synthesis of simple active pharmaceutical ingredients under supervision
  • can conduct selected chemical experiments, and interpret and present experimental data from selected organic chemistry experiments
  • can identify simple organic compounds based on their NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - spectroscopic data)
  • can use IR (infrared spectroscopy), thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography as methods of identification under supervision

General competence

The student

  • can demonstrate an understanding of important functional groups in organic chemistry, organic chemical structures and theory of reactions with a focus on pharmaceuticals

Content

The course consists of the following subject areas, specified below with the number of credits:

  • Organic chemistry10 credits

Teaching and learning methods

The work and teaching methods comprise lectures, seminars, group work and a laboratory course. Digital learning resources are an important part of the teaching activities.

Practical skills are acquired through laboratory work. The students must complete pre-lab and a safety course before they can start the laboratory course. The course also includes written tests. By alternating between theory and practice, the programme helps the students to develop their ability to cooperate and work independently.

Course requirements

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

  • Minimum attendance of 90% at laboratory courses.
  • Minimum attendance of 80% at seminars.
  • Laboratory reports in accordance with specified criteria.
  • Completed safety training before participating in the laboratory course.

Assessment

Supervised individual written exam, 5 hours.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

  • Own lab reports
  • Own hand-written notes.
  • Chemistry data (B. Pedersen).
  • Alphanumeric/financial calculator with cleared memory. A digital calculator is available to the student during the exam.
  • Molecular model set

Grading scale

Grade scale A-F

Examiners

All answers are assessed by one examiner. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
