- Teaching methods
- lectures, practical map interpretation
- Assessment methods
- It is necessary to pass seminars (searching in geological maps, study of rock samples) that are finished by two written tests. Final oral examen checks also knowledge of geological map and rock samples. It is recommended to pass field excursion focussed on the geology of the Bohemian Massif.
