This article from the Journal of Geoscience Education discusses the author's belief that changes in the perspectives of geoscience education and the necessity to accommodate students with interdisciplinary interest create a need for an optical mineralogy course that is concise, yet meets the demands of subsequent course modules that build on it. The author proposes that application-focused lab materials, practice-oriented teaching with a strong interactive component, and computer-based teaching aids can be used to enhance both the theoretical and the practical aspects of optical mineralogy.
