Today, computers are used in almost all fields of human endeavor wherever data are collected and
analysed. For this reason, certain mathematical topics related to the computer and information
sciences are now being widely studied. To this end, topics covered in this course include the binary
number system, relations and logic circuits, set theory and relations, Boolean algebra and logic gates, combinatorial Analysis.
This course aims to equip students with an understanding of the different rules of differentiation and integration which are required in the applied economics courses and higher mathematical courses like Econometrics and mathematical economics. This course is key to the understanding of critical economic concepts like optimization and marginal analysis.
The course is broken down into two interrelated topics: algebra and trigonometry.
Algebra is a mathematical “language” that generalizes arithmetic by using letters to represent numbers and state arithmetic rules and conclusions so that they will be valid for many or all numbers.
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that studies relationships involving lengths and angles.

Its aim is to broaden students’ knowledge of issues surrounding the new media. The issues discussed include the proliferation of information and misinformation on the Internet, the rise of citizen journalism, and the difficulties regarding the verification of online information.
This course aims to introduce students to the law governing the practices of journalism, including the concepts of freedom of expression, the right to know, access to information and the rule of the law. The course also allows the student to assess the impact of media laws on the journalism profession.
This course aims to introduce the Medical Laboratory student to the principles and methods needed in the medical microbiology laboratory with its instrumentation, laboratory techniques, quality assurance, automation and safety procedures. The course information will be shared with students through formal lectures, demonstrations, on-line exercises, group exercises and assignments, case-study analysis, practical laboratory sessions as well as student presentations.
The course aims to equip students with the cognitive and psychomotor skills to carry out basic rescue, utilizing basic rescue awareness, fire rescue and motor vehicle rescue. The second section of the course aims to equip students with the cognitive and psychomotor skills to carry out basic rescue, utilizing high angle rescue, wilderness search and rescue as well as Hazardous Materials.
Microbiology is a second-year course for the Bachelor of Human Nutrition students. This course aims to equip students with knowledge and skills on characteristics of microbes in food safety, identification of those microbes, how microorganisms cause food spoilage and foodborne illness, basic microbes used in different fermented foods and how to control microbes in from the farm to folk.
