Description
To provide learners with sufficient knowledge and skills in mineral chemistry
to provide quality data and information to support mineral and metal production.
to provide quality data and information to support mineral and metal production.
Range of Variables
This module can be delivered off or on-the-job.
For full-time learners, the module hours should be ideally sequenced over a
semester period to ensure adequate time for skill acquisition and reinforcement
between modules. Where delivery is via block release, a nine week period is
considered to be a minimum, and learners will require prior access to open
learning material covering theoretical and safety aspects of mineral chemistry.
Learners should anticipate up to an additional three hours per week to cover
assignments, reports and general revision.
As this module has a significant laboratory component, delivery strategies must
ensure integration of knowledge and laboratory skills. In adopting a
particular delivery strategy, it is important to establish the entry
characteristics (particularly employment status) of the learners.
