| FD13A - Law, Governance, Economy and Society in the Caribbean |
| This is a multi-disciplinary course of the Faculty of Social Sciences. It will introduce students to some of the major institutions in Caribbean society. This exposure is to both the historical and contemporary aspects of Caribbean society, including Caribbean legal, political and economic systems. In addition, Caribbean culture and Caribbean social problems are discussed. |
| ED20Y - Introduction to Computers in Education |
| In this course students will be able to acquire knowledge of computer, how the computer affects teaching and learning. It will also enable them to use the computer as a tool for manipulation of text, numbers and graphics; creating presentations; publishing; and information transfer. |
| ED22N - The Nature and Scope of Mathematics |
| The purpose of this course is to extend students' knowledge of mathematics working in a variety of ways, which will include the use of graphic calculators and computers. In carrying out this work students will be encouraged to think about the experience of learning mathematics and consider the implications of this for their work as teachers. |
| ED22M - Children Learning Mathematics |
| This course provides an introduction to issues of learning generally and mathematics learning in particular. Each member of the course will work closely with an individual learner over a period of several weeks. |
| ED22P - Analysis and Teaching of Mathematics |
Pre-requisite: ED22M
This course builds on the knowledge and experience gained in ED22M and takes a critical look at classroom practice. It examines issues of teaching and learning in the lower secondary school, examines content, and emphasizes teaching strategies, which allow for the development of a ‘thinking' classroom. |
| ED32F- Investigation and Problem Solving |
| This course aims to enable participants to experience investigating themselves and then develop the appropriate teaching skills for such work in their classrooms. |
| ED20X - Issues and Perspectives in Education |
| This course seeks to develop the students' understanding of the interplay of forces, which affect teaching and learning and influence educational practice and policy. Students should thereby come to appreciate the critical and dynamic role they play as the educators of the citizens of tomorrow. |
| ED32J - Issues in the Teaching of Mathematics [Part 1] |
| This course provides the opportunity for students to develop a deeper understanding of some current issues in the teaching of mathematics in particular, curriculum development, assessment and providing for learners with special needs. |
| ED32E - Teaching Mathematics in Grades 10 and 11 |
| This course aims to strengthen participants' knowledge of the topics in the Optional section and to be able to apply sound pedagogy in order to enable understanding on the part of students. |
| ED30Z - Investigating our Teaching |
| This course is designed to aid in the understanding of the role of the teacher as a learner, researcher, self-evaluator and reflective practitioner. It provides an opportunity for students to apply their know-ledge of the teaching learning process in implementing an innovative teaching experiment to address a problem in their classrooms, to reflect critically on the experience and to write a report, which informs their future practice. |
| ED32D - Issues in the Teaching of Mathematics [Part 2] |
| The course examines issues raised by the students and others introduced by the course tutor, towards establishing a deeper understanding of the issues and appropriate action plans for the future. |
| ME10A - Algebra |
| This course aims to give teachers some understanding of the nature of algebra and to develop skills and techniques common to CPE and A Level syllabuses which will be required for later mathematics courses. |
| ME10B - Geometry |
| This course aims to allow teachers to appreciate the nature, purposes and history of Geometry in various forms in describing and working on properties of space. |
| ME22A - Introductory Calculus |
Pre-requisite: ME10A and ME10A
This course is intended to provide the student with an initial understanding of differential and integral calculus and its applications. |
| ME22B - Statistics and Probability |
| This course is to teach the basic concepts and some elementary methods in probability and statistical inference. |
| ME22C - Analytic Geometry and Trigonometry |
Prerequisite: ME10B
In this course the student will develop skills in the complex number system, trigonometry and the analytic geometry. Analytic geometry is a 17th century development that bridges the areas of geometry and algebra. It calls for the use of algebraic expressions to define geometric shapes such as points, lines, circles, etc. Geometries will be considered with an emphasis on problem solving. |
| ME22D - Discrete Mathematics |
Perquisite: ME10A
The course is intended to provide students with exposure to relevant ideas for future courses in Calculus and/or Statistics. It is an important tool in the ongoing rapid revolution of electronics, computers and also provides the logical foundations upon which much of mathematics rests |
| ME32A - Linear Algebra |
| ME32B - Calculus II |
Prerequisite: ME10A & ME22A
This course follows on from Calculus I and is intended to provide students with an intuitive understanding of differential and integral calculus and its applications. This provides students with the additional tools needed to tackle problems involving integration and differentiation |
| ME32C - Calculus III |
Prerequisite: ME32B
This course is a continuation of Calculus II. Students will be exposed to a more rigorous treatment of fundamental concepts, such as limits and convergence in order to provide them with a deeper understanding of the important role played by these concepts in Calculus. |
| ME32D - Abstract Algebra |
Prerequisite: ME22D
This course provides students with a better understanding of the rules governing the basic algebraic operations that are performed in various number systems. Students will also be introduced to the proofs of some fundamental facts. |
ME32A - Linear Algebra |
Prerequisite: ME10A & ME22D
Linear algebra is an important component of modern mathematics. It provides a language and computational framework for posing and solving several problems in various disciplines
