Medicinal Chemistry 2

Students who attend classes for the entire duration of the course have the opportunity to take two written midterm exams (each lasting approximately 2.5 hours), subject to verification of attendance. These exams are held in February and July and cover the course content of the first and second semesters, respectively. Each exam typically consists of three open-ended questions.
The questions require students to comment on drug structures (either provided in the exam or requested from the student), illustrating the mechanism of action, therapeutic class, and side effects, as well as discussing structure-activity relationships, physicochemical properties, and synthetic approaches.
Assessment is based on the student's ability to organize responses to all questions, the quality and clarity of the answers, and the appropriate use of scientific language. To pass the exam through this method, the student must achieve a passing grade in both midterms. The final grade (out of 30) is the average of the two scores. No oral integration is foreseen for this exam format.
The exam grade can only be recorded after passing the exams in Medicinal and Toxicological Chemistry I and Organic Chemistry II.
The standard exam session consists of a written test (approximately 2.5 hours), typically including three open-ended questions, following the same format as the midterm exams. To pass the written test, the student must provide satisfactory answers to at least two of the three questions. The final score for the written test is based on an overall evaluation of the entire paper.
Students who pass the written test proceed to the oral exam, during which the written test is reviewed and discussed, and an average of two to three additional questions are asked, covering the entire course syllabus. The final grade, expressed out of 30, is primarily determined by the written test score.

For standard exam sessions, the results of the written test are usually communicated within two weeks, along with feedback and corrections, prior to the oral exam. Students who do not pass the written test must retake the exam and may register for the next session without restrictions. There are at least six exam sessions per year, scheduled according to the calendar set by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The students attending the whole course have the opportunity, subject to checking their presence to the lessons, to take "two written midterm exams" (about 1-1.5 h each). These exams, which are scheduled each academic year on February and July, focus on the first and second semester program, respectively. They consist of thirty multiple-choice questions end/or questions requiring short answers of predermined length, comments on structures (that the students will find in the text or should draw), SARs, mechanisms of action, therapeutic indications, side effects, physicochemical properties and synthetic approaches. To pass the exam, the student should reach a sufficient evaluation in each of the two tests: the final mark is expressed out of thirty (from 18/30 to 30/30 cum laude), and is the grade point average of the two marks. No oral exams are planned for this exam modality.
As in the case of standard exam sessions, mark registration of the exam is subject to passing exams of both Medicinal and toxicological chemistry 1 and Organic chemistry 2.
The "standard exam sessions" consist of a written exam (about 1.5 h) on the entire program, with thirty questions as for the midterm exams. To pass the written exam, at least eighteen exact answers are necessary. No oral exams are planned. The result on the written exam evaluation is communicated to the students within one week. The students can refuse the mark. The students failing written exams must sign up for the next exam session. Written exams may be taken in consecutive sessions without any restrictions. Exam sessions, at least seven per year, are in accordance with the indications from the Faculty of Pharmacy.
