Didactic method to evaluate the topic biomolecules in Organic Chemistry for Chemical Engineering

Abstract

Actually the cuban higher education, it's called to change the traditional forms of evaluation towards methods, that involve content integration, therefore in this word, was presented a didactic method to evaluate the topic of biomolecules by integrate seminar in the subject of Organic Chemistry; with the objective of apply evaluation method that allows the integration of contents, applicable to the chemical industry for the topic of biomolecules, for the achievement of this objective a seminar guide was designed, the students must search of scientific articles and specialized bibliography, through teamwork, integrating the contents received in the subject, emphasizing it's application in the industry through the identification of impacts and finally will make the oral presentation; In this work a criteria survey was carried out, with the application of surveys to 98 % of the students who received the course, 97 % of the students interviewed considered that the method allowed them to enter into the technical language appropriate to their training, being pertinent and convenient its application during the undergraduate training in several subjects. This evaluation method showed a way to integrate the content of the subject, in an applicable and didactic way, facilitating the understanding and application from an industrial profile, providing useful tools for professional performance.
