The subject will deepen and extend the knowledge acquired in the General Chemistry II course about the study of the macroscopic behavior of the matter in areas related to the Chemical Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics and Electrochemical Phenomena. Also, students will acquire the theorical and applicated knowledge of different areas of Physical Chemistry such as, Transport Phenomena, Surface Phenomena and Macromolecular and Colloidal Systems. The experimental part of this subject will be supplemented in the so-called Experiments in Physical Chemistry.

Specific Skills:

1. (M02CM01) Understanding and managing the principles of physical chemistry and their influence on chemical processes

2. (M02CM05) Understanding the relationships between structure, properties and processing of the different types of materials and their selection based on the intended applications.



Transversal Skills:

3. (M02CM09) To be able to explain orally and in writing, in an understandable way, phenomena and processes related to Chemistry and related subjects.

4. (M02CM10) To be able to search and select information in the field of Chemistry and other scientific fields making use of the bibliography and information and communication technologies.

5. (M02CM11) To be able to relate Chemistry with other disciplines, as well as understand its impact on current society and the importance of the chemical sector.

The theoretical explanation of the topics will be done through master classes (M) supported by egela, where all the necessary material to follow the classes will be available. The theoretical concepts developed will be applied to practical cases by completing problems in classroom practices (GA). The seminars (S) will work accordinto to the research-based learning methodology (RBL) applied to one of the development and sustainable objectives in accordance with the ikd3 project guidelines.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 75
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 15
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 10

The continuous evaluation (classroom practices and seminars) accounts for 25% of the final grade and the student must sit all the tests evaluated.

Continuous assessment will consist of the student carrying out activities (for example problem solving or taking tests or questionnaires) in classroom practices, as well as discussing questions in small groups in seminars.

To complete the grade, there will be a final written exam at the end of each semester (75%), on the dates set by the Faculty, where a minimum grade of 4 is required to average with the continuous evaluation. It will be enough not to appear to said final test so that the final grade of the subject is not presented or not presented.

To pass the subject, it is necessary to pass both parts.

In the exam corresponding to the official call, the same evaluation criteria previously set forth will be followed and the approved partial exams will be kept.

The student has 18 weeks from the start of the course to communicate to the teachers their resignation to continuous assessment. In this case, the evaluation will be done through a written test (100%) on the date of the ordinary call.

Unless otherwise indicated, during the development of an assessment test, the use of books, notes or notes, as well as telephone, electronic, computer or other devices or devices, by students will be prohibited.



In all cases, the evaluation will be carried out following the Protocol on academic ethics and the prevention of dishonest or fraudulent practices in the evaluation tests and in academic work at the UPV / EHU. In particular, the guidelines for action in the event of possible fraud, copying or plagiarism will be followed (Article 4).

In accordance with the regulations governing the evaluation of students in official degrees, the evaluation in the extraordinary call will be carried out exclusively through the final evaluation system. The positive results obtained by the students during the course will be kept, in the case of having obtained negative results through continuous evaluation, these results will not be maintained for the extraordinary call, in which the student will be able to obtain 100% of the grade. Extraordinary evaluation test will consisted of evaluation activities comparable to those used in the ordinary call.

The use of books, notes, as well as telephone, electronic, computer, or other devices or devices by students will be forbidden, unless otherwise indicated by the faculty.



In all cases, the evaluation will be carried out following the Protocol on academic ethics and the prevention of dishonest or fraudulent practices in the evaluation tests and in academic work at the UPV / EHU. In particular, the guidelines for action in the event of possible fraud, copying or plagiarism will be followed (Article 4).
