This course aims to introduce students to the basics of social analysis. It is designed to help students analyse the social world in terms of various social variables, such as culture, gender, inequality, religion, migration, and social interactions. Thus, this course will expose students to sociological theories, social change and the social causes and consequences of human behaviour. This course will enable students to work with different people from diverse backgrounds and appreciate the diversity.

Land Information Systems (LIS) are tools (mostly computerised) that are used for legal, administrative and socio-economic decision making and assist in planning and development which consists of spatially referenced database of land-related data for a defined area on hand and procedure/techniques for systematic collection, updating, processing and distribution of data/information.
The course will focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of LIS covering the formal definitions, uses and applications, relevance and value, and design and implementation of LIS using computerised tools (like geodatabases, GIS etc). Special attention will be paid to the concept of parcel-based land information systems and at the end students will be taken on global trends and implications.
Students are encouraged to read widely and to be inquisitive so that they can think more globally but be able to apply their actions and efforts in contributing to finding local solutions

The course, Literary Theory, focuses on the interpretation of literature using different approaches. These approaches are called theories of Literature. They are used to interpret literature form various angles depending on the thrust of the theory. You should understand that some of the theories are applicable in various other fields. Literary scholars have simply adapted them for use in the interpretation of literature. So, you do not have to be confused if you have encountered some of the theories in other disciplines.

This
course will prepare students for advanced research by examining how to plan,
conduct and report on empirical investigations with an emphasis on data science
within an application domain (e.g., NLP, Finance, Healthcare, Agriculture, and
Telecommunications). It will also introduce students to practical but
scientific research work, and to encourage independent academic and/or
commercial research among students. The overall outcome is to develop novel solutions to data science-related
problems and communicate the findings (concepts, designs and techniques)
effectively and professionally in accordance with NUST requirements.
Students have to submit three (3) Progress Reports during the year of Thesis, using the link provided.
Due dates are: 17 April, 17 July and 13 November for Report No1, No2 and No3 respectively.

A popular saying goes like this:
If you think logically and hard enough, you will figure it out.
This course is about logical thinking. For you as a Mathematics and Statistics student, we are using mathematical concepts to enable you to think logically. In real sense, this course is not entirely about Mathematics. Rather it is to prepare you to be as good as possible in your chosen field of study. You will not be on your own. I will be there to guide you through.

This course is designed for students pursuing a career in Land Management and related fields. There is no doubt that to be a reliable Land Manager (in whatever aspect of it), basic competencies in Mathematics and Statistics are essential. This course, therefore, deals with those crucial areas of Mathematics and Statistics that are applicable to efficient Land Management and Spatial Science skills.

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.

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.

Welcome to the Media Ethics in the Digital Age course.
You will agree with me that it is an exciting time to be pursuing your Masters degree. This is because Technology, Social Media et al have changed the way we do things, the way we do journalism, and even our daily lives have been totally submerged in tech stuff, besides other things competing for our attention....
That is why it is important to know how to do stuff the right way.
This course therefore builds on the ethical approaches that are introduced in most undergraduate journalism and media studies courses. 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.
