Learning outcomes

Module: Chimica organica (laboratorio)
-------
The practicals in organic chemistry are aimed to get students acquainted with the basic operations needed to handle and purify organic compunds of biological interest. Students will be requested to carry on simple organic reactions, in order to understand the reaction mechanisms discussed in the theoretical course


Module: Chimica organica (teoria)
-------
The course is aimed to provide students with the basic organic chemistry which will be needed to understand the fundamental processes of biochemistry. An important goal of the course is also to introduce the first year students to the scientific method, so that molecules behaviour and reaction mechanisms can be deduced from the knowledge of acidic-basic and other physical properties. The course is specifically tailored to biotechnology students as the highest attention will be dedicated to the organic chemistry of biological systems.
