Chemistry for Dentistry Students

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Medical chemistry includes the topics of general chemistry which are necessary for medical students. It deals also with the chemistry of organic functional groups in concise way. Majority of the curriculum deals with the bioorganic chemistry, which means the chemistry and descriptive biochemistry of biomolecules. The purpose of practices is to study some analytical chemistry and the knowledge of materials. Curriculum of medical chemistry contains the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand biochemistry.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

no other requirements

Mid-term exams

Each week's practice scripts include questions that can be found in advance in the workbook. From the 3rd week, students write a small test at the beginning of the practice. Questions will be asked for written answers, with 6 minutes available for the answers. Those who do not take the test during the internship will automatically receive 0 points for this week. With the tests you can get bonus points for the exam. (max. 5 points). The points collected here do not apply to passing the minimum questions, but are added to the final exampoints as extra points. The result of the small test is only valid after the group leader has accepted the protocol booklet. The examination is a colloquium, the questions must be answered and explained in writing. The exam starts with 10 minimum questions.

Making up for missed classes

2 absences are allowed from the 14 occasions of lab and seminar practices.

The semester is not accepted if the student has more than 2 absences. If the student is late more than 5 minutes he/she can not write lab test. If the student is late 5-10 minutes, he/she may perform the lab experiments and this occasion will not be considered as an absence. Less than 5 minutes late is accepted. More than 10 minutes late is absence.

The lab and seminar classes cannot be made up.

Exam topics/questions

The exam is based on the topic of the lectures and labs. It is a written exam, includes 10 MRT questions. MRT questions, 30 points, must be obtained at least 21 points. If less than 21 points is obtained from the MRT questions the exam is failed, irrespectively of the remaining part of the test and the brought extra points. Main questions 11–: 90 points;

Total: 120 points +Laboratory test points (maximum 5)
