Course content
The territory of Ukraine is characterized by a significant distribution of rocks of igneous and metamorphic origin. Within defined petrographic provinces, they form local rock associations that appear under the names of series and complexes in current stratigraphic and geochronological schemes. The study discipline "Petrography of Ukraine" provides theoretical knowledge about such rock associations, their geostructural position, conditions of occurrence, age, origin, material composition, petrographic features and mineral resource potential. Laboratory classes improve the skills of diagnosis and petrographic description of rocks, providing practical experience in determining their affiliation to the petrographic provinces of Ukraine and local rock associations. The purpose of the discipline is to provide theoretical knowledge about the regional petrography of Ukraine, to improve the skills of diagnosis and petrographic description of rocks.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
lecture and laboratory classes, independent student work
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment:
1) Two module works on the lecture material - 40 points (minimum assessment 24 points)
2) Current survey – 20 points (minimumf score 12 points)
3) Evaluation of the laboratory report – 20 points (minimuml evaluation 12 points)
Final assessment in the form of credit: maximum assessment 20 points, minimum assessment 12 points. During the assessment, the student answers the test questions from the lecture material in writing. Final assessment in the form of credit is optional.
The results of students' educational activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale.
The final grade is given based on the results of the student's work throughout the semester, as a sum of points for systematic work during the semester and for credit.
A student is not admitted to the final evaluation in the form of credit if he scored less than 40 points during the semester.
