ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam will consist of a written part in which the candidate must interpret one 1H-NMR spectrum, and an oral part in which will be discussed this interpretation. It is always conducted by two faculty members (or in limited cases as a tenured professor and a fellow with at least 5 years of postgraduate research experience) and has a duration of at least 30 minutes. With these modes, because at least one of the two teachers has many years of experience of examinations in the discipline, the commission is able to verify with high accuracy to achieve the educational objectives of teaching. When these are not met, the student is invited to deepen the study and to use further explanation by the lecturer.
