|
Course contents :
|
| 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. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Understand the morphology and the internal structure of minerals. Learn to identify minerals in hand, and with the polarizing microscope in transmitted light. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic knowledge (level BAC1) in mathematics, trigonometry, physics, optics, and inorganic chemistry. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| 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). |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face learning. It is absolutely necessary to attend all practicals. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The course is available on-line. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Examinations in June. Oral examination for theory. 2 practical examinations for microscopy and macroscopic identifcation. No partial dispense will be allowed. |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| None |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are strictly forbidden during the course. |
