ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	elective courses
Prerequisites (description):	Knowledge of basic level of mineralogy, crystallography and petrology. Practical skills in MS Excels on intermediate level. Familiarity with logical functions is welcome.
Short description:	Main rock-forming as well as some accessory minerals will be discussed with emphasis put on structures, classification, methods of recalculation of chemical analyses in to crystallochemical formula and some of minerals` petrogenetic features.
Full description:	Raw data from electron probe microanalyser (EPMA) processing. Mineralogical databases. Following mineral groups will be discussed, including their structures, variation of chemical composition and some petrogenetic features: • olivine group minerals; • plagioclase series; • garnets; • pyroxenes; • amphiboles In mentioned mineral groups the following issues will be emphasized as well: • recalculation of chemical analysis in to crystallochemical formula; • isomorphic substitutions. End-members calculation; • graphical presentation of chemical composition variations. Additionally, based on examples of the following groups of minerals, specific methods of crystallochemical formula recalculations will be discussed: • spinels; • micas; • apatite group minerals • epidote group minerals
