Course history

Introduction

Arbeids- og undervisningsformene omfatter digitale forelesninger, webseminarer, digitalt gruppearbeid og selvstudier. Deler av undervisningen er organisert som simuleringsøvelser.

Observasjonspraksis

Deler av undervisningen er organisert som 2 dagers observasjonspraksis. Studenter med erfaring fra Akuttmedisinsk kommunikasjonssentral (AMK) skal ha praksis ved Akuttmedisinsk kommunikasjonssentral og studenter med erfaring fra Legevaktsentral (LVS) skal ha praksis ved Legevaktsentral.

Recommended preliminary courses

Grade scale A-F.

Required preliminary courses

For å fremstille seg til eksamen må følgende være godkjent:

  • 80 % tilstedeværelse på webseminar og simuleringsøvelser
  • 90 % tilstedeværelse på observasjonspraksis
  • individuelt refleksjonsnotat basert på observasjonspraksis
  • 2 fagnotat i gruppe på 3-6 studenter, á 1000 ord. Fagnotatene presenteres på webseminarene med tilbakemelding fra lærer og medstudenter

Learning outcomes

Skriftlig prosjektoppgave i gruppe på 3-6 studenter. Omfang: 3000 ord (+/- 10 prosent). Studentene arbeider med prosjektoppgaven gjennom hele semesteret.

Ny eksamen: Dersom oppgaven vurderes til F (ikke bestått), har gruppen anledning til å levere omarbeidet versjon én (1) gang.

Teaching and learning methods

The course is an introduction to basic concepts and models in the field of chemistry. Students will acquire skills in performing simple chemical experiments and handling chemicals in accordance with regulations.

Course requirements

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Assessment

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

Knowledge

The student:

  • can describe the structure of the periodic system.
  • can describe structure of atoms and structure og chemical bond in molecules, gases, liquids and solids.
  • can describe the main types of chemical reactions.
  • can describe the main principles of reaction kinetics, and the relationship between kinetics and equilibrium.
  • can explain the terms enthalpy, entropy, and free energy and describe how they provide the connection between thermodynamics, electrochemistry and chemical equilibrium.
  • can explain the behavior of galvanic cells and electrochemical cells.

Skills

The student:

  • can name simple chemical compounds.
  • can balance reaction equations.
  • can perform stoichiometric calculations and determine concentrations and partial pressure at chemical equilibrium.
  • can perform basic calculations within reaction kinetics, thermodynamics (enthalpy, entropy and free energy) and electrochemistry (galvanic cells and electrolysis).
  • can perform simple chemical reactions and laboratory tests with both qualitative and quantitative determinations.
  • can write and explain the results of the laboratory work in the journal, report and spreadsheet.

General competence

The student:

  • can collaborate in groups both with practical and written work.
  • have insight into the proper handling of chemicals on the basis of HSE data and from laboratory experience.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

The teaching is organised as lectures, exercises and laboratory course

Grading scale

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

  • 6-day laboratory course with 6 associated written assignments (5-15 pages per assignment)
  • 4 of 7 compulsory exercises (2-4 hours per exercise)
  • 1 presentation (10 - 15 min)

Examiners

Exam form: Individual written exam under supervison, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of a written exam. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.

Course contact person

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.
