Learning outcomes
|
Principles of general and systematic mineralogy.
The students will: - be able to explain the principles of structural and chemical crystallography - apply them to the calculation of crystallochemical formulae - increase their knowledge of the formation and development of crystals, of physical properties of crystals and minerals - acquire thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of systematic mineralogy (ca 100 minerals)

|
Written exam
Theoretical knowledge is tested by written tests. Successful test is followed by recognition of mineral samples and crystals.
