Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The content of the course "Cristallographie et Minéralogie" must be known.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Practicals: interpretation of chemical analyses of minerals and macroscopic identification.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face learning. Practicals are OBLIGATORY.
Some chapters may be managed via podcasts.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Written exam with theoretical questions and chemical analyses. The presentations of chapters by students will be evaluated.
