NUST eLearning

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.

This course introduces the students to Mathematical modelling process from formulation to solution. Specifically, it takes the students through essential aspects of Modeling Change, Modelling using Proportionality and Geometric Similarity techniques, Model Fitting and Experimental Modelling.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the Microbiology course. This course is offered in the first  semester of the 3rd year B Sc undergraduate study.  The course study guide is aimed at assisting the student for preparation and as a self-study tool for the course. The course learning outcomes, assessment strategies and learning activities are outlined in the guide.

This course is designed to provide students with solid grounding in the role of microorganisms as pathogenic agents, the cellular and molecular basis of immune response and the tools used in diagnosing and treatment of infections caused by infectious agents.
