Type of Assessment
Classification of a rock in transmitted light microscopy (written). X-ray diffractogram interpretation. Oral: observation of a mineral in reflected light microscopy, questions. The student will be invited to discuss some topics related to the main issues covered in the course. The critical capacity of the student will be taken into account for the final evaluation.
