Course Description		Main purpose of the course is to teach principles of phase petrology to the master studendents with background in geology: 1. Determination of the positions of the mineral reaction in P-T, T-X and P-X diagrams 2. Construction of model phase diagrams 3. Constructions of pseudosections in metamorphic petrology
Course Outcomes		Master students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skills and proficiency in the following subjects: 1. Essentials of petrological phase diagrams 2. Construction of petrologic phase diagrams 3. Determination of the P-T conditions of mineral assemblages 4. Construction of model phase diagrams or pseudosections for a particular bulk composition.
