Course content
The discipline "Fundamentals of petrography" provides students with theoretical knowledge about rocks as mineral aggregates and geological bodies, their mineral and chemical composition, main rock-forming minerals, structural and textural features, geological conditions of occurrence and origin. Forms an idea of ​​modern methods of studying rocks, existing principles of their classification and nomenclature, fields of use. Laboratory work allows you to consolidate theoretical material in practice, mastering the skills of macroscopic diagnosis and description of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The purpose of the discipline is to acquaint students with the theoretical foundations of petrography as a scientific discipline that deals with the comprehensive study of rocks, their composition, structure, conditions of occurrence, features of distribution and fields of use. Teach students to identify igneous and metamorphic rocks in samples using macroscopic diagnostic tools.

Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment: 1) Two control papers on macroscopic diagnosis and description of rocks, 10 points each, together - max 20 / min 12 points 2) Verification of independent descriptions of rocks - max 20 / min 12 points 3) Current survey on macroscopic diagnostics of rocks - max 20 / min 12 points Final evaluation in the form of an exam: max 40 / min 24 points. Final assessment in the form of an exam is mandatory. The results of students' educational activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. A student is not admitted to the final assessment in the form of an exam if he scored less than 20 points during the semester. Control is carried out according to the modular rating system.
