Course contents :  
This course is subdivided in two parts:
1. Elements of Mineralogy;
2. Elements of igneous and metamorphic petrology
The organization and content of these two parts are presented in their respective descriptions.

1st part : elements of mineralogy

This course concerns the basics of Mineralogy, for students in BAC3 Geology Engineer and in Master1 Geography. The main chaptes are:
1. Geometric crystallography.
2. Optical crystallography.
3. Crystal chemistry.
4. Macroscopic identification of minerals.

2nd part : Elements of Magmatic and metamorphic petrology

An introduction to magmatic and metamorphic petrology

Learning outcomes of the course :  
1st part : elements of mineralogy

Understand the morphology and the internal structure of minerals. Learn to identify minerals in hand, and with the polarizing microscope in transmitted light.

2nd part : Elements of Magmatic and metamorphic petrology

General overview of the main types of magmatic and metamorphic rocks and their conditions of formation

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
1st part : elements of mineralogy

Basic knowledge (level BAC1) in mathematics, trigonometry, physics, optics, and inorganic chemistry.

2nd part : Elements of Magmatic and metamorphic petrology

General geology

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
1st part : elements of mineralogy

Numerous hours of practical identification of minerals under the microscope. The macroscopic identification of minerals is not included in the hours mentioned in the programm of this course (personal supplementary training).

2nd part : Elements of Magmatic and metamorphic petrology

4 lectures of 2H and 4 labs

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
1st part : elements of mineralogy

Face-to-face learning. It is absolutely necessary to attend all practicals.

2nd part : Elements of Magmatic and metamorphic petrology

face-to-face

Recommended or required readings :  
1st part : elements of mineralogy

The course is available on-line.
