Course content
There is an acquaintance with the theoretical and methodological foundations of soil science, its position in the system of geological sciences, composition and structure, physical, physicochemical and physico-mechanical properties of soils. Students get acquainted with natural rocky and dispersed soils. Modern ideas about the formation of the composition, structure, condition and properties of soils are considered.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, laboratory work, independent work of students
Assessment methods and criteria
Control involves lab works and 3 written tests. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a written and oral exam. The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. A student is not allowed to take the final grade if he/she scored less than 20 points during the semester. During the semester the student can score from 36 to 60 points. During the exam the student can get from 24 to 40 points
