The law of Insolvency essentially attempts to minimize loss to the company’s creditors. This course aims to show what happens in the twilight of insolvency without necessarily prejudicing the creditor’s interests. With regard to individuals, creditors again gain prominence in times of financial crisis. However, the law provides an option for an individual who is unable to pay their debts to have a fresh start.
The course will address questions such as why the law intervenes when companies and/or individuals face financial problems, what assets can be claimed by a company's creditors/personal creditors, the powers and limitations of receivers, and how those responsible for the issues should be dealt with. Particular topics to be addressed are included in the attached reading list.

The flow of this course will use a mix of blended asynchronous (not live/real-time), and synchronous (live/real-time) learning activities. This course will have regular weekly assignments due, scheduled live blended class sessions (via web conferencing and physical sessions), weekly text discussions via the course discussion forums, as well as readings and course materials that each of student is required to keep on top of each week.
This is not a self-paced course. Each student must manage their own time each week, to know when assignments are due, and any other weekly course obligations, and all students move through the course together each week. This will involve regularly logging into the online learning systems to check forums, communications, monitor your email address and WhatsApp communications, and virtually interact with classmates, team members, instructors, and course materials.

STAKEHOLDERS' INVOLVEMENT IN QA IN EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
A stakeholder is anyone who is impacted, either directly or indirectly, by what happens within an educational institution. There are various stakeholders in education, and each stakeholder has a role to play in ensuring quality within the institution.
The Stakeholders in education include students, parents, educators, policy-makers, the business community, and donors. Each of these groups has a vested interest in ensuring that the educational system is effective and meets the required standards. Stakeholders' participation also ensures that policies and practices are relevant, well-supported, and aligned with the needs of the entire school community.

Everyday governments make important decisions that affect the lives of their citizens. People, private institutions and organizations also engage in similar decision-making policies. These decisions are shaped and influenced by many factors and ideas that we generally consider to constitute public policy. This course gives an overview of the major social science approaches, theories, methods and practices that help us to understand public policy. Social science is an umbrella term that refers to the plurality of disciplines that facilitate the study of society. They include anthropology, sociology, economics, psychology, political science, and, in some contexts, history, geography and law. These disciplines cannot be satisfactorily covered in one semester. To strike an acceptable balance between breadth and depth, this course will cover eight key disciplines that inform governmental decisions and public resource allocations: anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, economics, law, geography and demography. The aim is to outline, for non-social scientists, the key disciplinary approaches that will enable both policy scientists and policy practitioners to contextualize the work they do.
