Metamorphic Petrology

The course covers 1) classification and identification of metamorphic rocks, 2)genesis of metamorphic rocks, 3) deformation, 4) chemical transport in metamorphic systems, and 5) how metamorphic petrology can be used as a tool to further our understanding of plate tectonic processes.

• Course structure

  The course is to a 100% a distant learning course. You may start anytime and follow the course in your own pace. No specific schedule is therefore provided.

  Assessment

  Is based on a written/oral assessment at the end of the course. Assessment criteria are:

  B = Very good
  C = Good
  D = Satisfactory
  E = Sufficient
  Fx = Insufficient
  F = Entirely insufficient

  The assessment criteria will be outlined at the start of the course. To pass the course, a minimum grade E is necessary.

• Course literature

  Note that the course literature can be changed up to two months before the start of the course.

• Course reports

  Course evaluations allow the possibility to affect and take responsibility for your own learning and gives important information for our work with pedagogical development.

  It's important that all students complete the course evaluations after each course, it gives the Department the opportunity to improve the courses' quality.

  The course evaluation is composed of a number of questions and specific questions for each course. If you, as a student, want to contribute with more course specific questions you may send them to studies@geo.su.se.

  If you haven't received the course evaluation for your finished course, or if you have other questions regarding course evaluations at IGV please contact studies@geo.su.se.

  Course evaluation = student's review of the course
  Course report = course leader's reflections about the review
