To ensure high-quality training of bachelors, the faculty's teaching staff annually develops and updates educational and methodological documentation: work programs, syllabi, brief lecture notes, methodological guidelines for practical (seminar) classes, and educational-methodical complexes for courses. For practical training, necessary equipment is available (compasses, globes, backpacks, tents, collections of minerals and rocks, wall maps, etc.).
