| The student will learn to recognize crystalline matter, to analyze its structure, and to describe its internal symmetry | A3 A9 A12 A20 |
B1 B3 |
C3 |
| The study of minerals, as natural inorganic chemical compounds, and mineral formation processes, provides knowledge on the reactivity of chemical elements that result in natural compounds | A6 A20 A24 |
||
| The internal structure of each mineral class, crystal system and the most representative unit cells are analyzed | A1 A3 A9 |
B3 |
|
| The student will be able to relate mineral properties (density, cleavage, hardness, piezoelectricity) and mineral chemical composition, bonds and internal structure | A6 A12 A16 A25 A27 |
B5 B6 B7 |
C1 |
| The student will face practical and theoretical aspects of minerals and crystalline matter, and the relationship between atomic arrangement and macroscopic properties | A15 A16 |
B3 |
|
| Laboratory work includes the analysis of crystal forms and the identification of common minerals through a critical analysis of its symmetry, the development and training of spatial perception and the students’ abstraction capabilities. | A1 A12 A20 A23 |
B1 B3 B4 B5 |
C1 C2 C6 C7 |
| Small group assignments are focused on solving problems related, in general, to practical aspects of mineralogy. The student should be able to present it in a synthetic manner, and to establish the interactions between the problem and other disciplines | A15 A23 A24 A25 |
