Full-time form

1. knowledge of the theoretical foundations of mineralogy 2. be able to diagnose minerals by physical properties

The discipline provides major information on the content, structure, tasks current approaches and concepts of modern mineralogy; acquaints with major trends in modern mineralogy; a systematic review of minerals as a source of metals, energy and materials is provided. The aim of the discipline is to provide an introduction to the main modern concepts required to understand minerals and their behaviour and to provide main knowledge about the spatial and temporal patterns of minerals forming and distribution in a particular geological formation. The discipline is to acquaint students with the basic concepts and trends of modern mineralogy; to give an idea of modern concepts of properties of mineral matter.

Lectures, seminars, self-studying work of student.

Semester grading: 1. Control test 1: max 10 / min 6, grades 2. Control test 2: max 10 / min 6, grades 3. 6 oral reports which can be presented in the form of presentations and abstracts: max 60 / min 38 grades in total. Final assessment (modular test) in form of the written test (max 20 / min 12 grades) The final assessment in the form of modular test is not obligatory, if the student refuses to participate in this form of assessment, the student will not receive the corresponding points for the final assessment. Final evaluation is in the form of a final test (total score of discipline (maximum 100 grades) is defined as the sum for the systematic work during the semester. Final evaluation based on the results of the student's work throughout the semester. A student is not allowed to take the final grade in the form of credit if student has scored less than 40 points during the semester.
