The aim of the course:
is to understand the genesis, concepts of facies and environment of micro sediments of carbonate rocks, optimal approach casts in problems encountered in practice, using criterias of environment and improving ability of explications.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : read papers for sedimentary facies.2,41,3,4
PO - 2 : differentiate facies under microscope.2,41,3,4
PO - 3 : write papers for sedimentary facies.2,41,3,4
PO - 4 : present fsubjects related for sedimentary facies.2,41,3,4
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
