Requirements on student
|
Teaching takes the form of lectures and exercises in which the students acquainted with the basic properties of minerals and rocks At the same time, samples of the most important rock-forming minerals, the main types of magmatic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are demonstrated to them. The condition for obtaining the credit is at least 80% attendance at seminars. The exam is oral and includes a practical part based on exercises.
