Glosario de Yacimientos Minerales (GC4114)

Cada estudiante debe investigar al menos 30 conceptos de los trminos abajo

presentados.
Discutir los trminos que cada estudiante realizar, a fin de que no se repitan y se
abarquen una mayor cantidad de definiciones de dicho glosario.
Los conceptos deben ser escrito a mano, el uso de la computadora no est permitido. Citar
la bibliografa consultada.
Se realizara un examen oral de algunos conceptos a fin de evaluar el nivel de aprendizaje
que el estudiante alcanzo con la realizacin del glosario
El examen oral ser realizado en la semana 11 del trimestre Septiembre-enero 2013-2014.
La entrega del glosario y el examen oral son condicin necesaria para aprobar la materia
(valor total 5% de la nota total)
