Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message In this course, students will learn about the Earth's dynamics through the study of minerals in the Earth's interior, microscopic roch/mineral science, macroscopic rock convection, and numerical simulations. You are expected to understand the aspects of the Earth's dynamics from the viewpoint of different research fields. 
Other   
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
