- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 42 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/42, only registered: 0/42, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/42 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 8 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- Lectures represent the work with actual samples of fossils and geological structures. Main objectives are that students recognize these phenomena in general samples.
