2. Pre-Requisites
Those of the access to the Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry, being useful for the student to have basic notions of Geology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as having completed the subjects of Geology and / or Earth and Environmental Sciences in the previous teachings.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Geology is a basic scientific discipline for the training of any science graduate. For its teaching in the Chemistry degree, a Crystallographic and Mineralogical approach has been carried out, since minerals represent a good example to know crystalline structures and forms, aspects of special interest in fields such as Inorganic Chemistry or Geochemistry. On the other hand, the knowledge of the processes involved in the genesis of minerals and rocks is of great interest to understand some environmental phenomena.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Progress Tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 30.00% | 0.00% | |
| Final test | 0.00% | 100.00% | |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The final grade will be the sum of the grades obtained in the different progress tests and problem tests. To pass the course, all exams must be passed.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:In the final test, students will be examined from the subject blocks suspended in the continuous assessment process, needing to pass the course a grade equal to or greater than 5.0.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Students who did not pass the subject in the ordinary call, will be examined for the entirety of it, and must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5.0 points to pass this subject.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary and extraordinary exams will be examined in its entirety, and must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5.0 points to pass this subject.
