5.1. Methodological overview

The teaching methodology is based on lectures in which the teacher exposes and explains the subject. Students are encouraged to participate and discuss different aspects of the subject in order to develop critical thinking and inquiry-based learning (7 ECTS).

The teaching is complemented with sessions dedicated to problem discussion and solving. These sessions help the students to be more proactive about using the knowledge and skills they have been learning to solve problems that they may encounter in the world of work or in further levels of study (2 ECTS).

5.2. Learning tasks

The learning program offered to the student to help achieve the expected results includes the following activities:

Lectures: acquisition of knowledge of Inorganic Chemistry (70 sessions of 50 min).
Problem discussion and solving (20 sessions of 50 min).
