Offered to foreign students

Of all faculties

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of the Organic Chemistry I and examination from the course contents.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Completing the tutorial of Organic Chemistry, which is accompanying the lectures, requires passing 12 written tests. Those, who successfully pass at least 7 tests during the semester with more than 60%, may get credit automatically. Alternatively, students are obliged to pass another test at the end of term with gain at least 60%.
The examination consists from written test and oral examination. In the written part knowledge from Organic Chemistry II is tested, in oral exam then knowledge from the whole Organic chemistry.

Completing the tutorial of Organic chemistry requires the attendance and successfully passed all class exams. The examination consists from written test and oral examination.

Aims

The aim of the course is acquiring deeper knowledge of organic compounds reactivity. The course is connected with the previous course Organic Chemistry I, which represents necessary prerequisite for understanding the subject matter of this course. The aim of the course is understanding the structure and reactivity of various functional groups bound at various carbon skeletons, influence of the skeleton upon reactivity of the group and the opposite influence of the group upon reactivity of skeleton.
Completing the course of Organic Chemistry II in connection with course Organic Chemistry I, students acquire the complex knowledge of structure, reactivity and stereochemistry of hydrocarbon derivatives and heterocyclic compounds. The knowledge acquired enables to work both in research and practice of organic chemistry, in control laboratories and state administration authorities.
