ROCKS AND MINERALS AND THEIR EXPLOITATION

Introduction

This module should be read in conjunction with the Programme of Study (PoS). The Programme of Study lists all the modules to be covered in order to fully cover the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) syllabus and prepare you for your examinations. Think of the Programme of Study as your map of the whole of your study programme. The modules give you more detail on the topics to be covered, the reading you should do and more general hints and tips that you should take note of as you work through the course book.

This module includes:

The concepts and ideas you should understand by the end of the module.
The case studies that you need to learn.
The additional resources available on Canvas.

While each learner is different, it is suggested that you spend around 10 hours on this module.
