Course description 

The course aims at providing understanding of the economic context of social work with special focus on grassroots social-economic structures, institutions and economic policy management. It emphasizes critical analysis and thinking of non-market aspects of the social economy in least developed economies taking into account community-based economic management initiatives world-wide.

It focuses on the interface between the “community economy” and the market economy while emphasizing the need to re-orient/direct policies towards communities as a tool for social development through pro-poor, inclusive economic growth. Much of the focus is on the transition from subsistence-based peasant economy to a fully monetized economy through policy-driven commercialization of agriculture and service facilities.

The student is expected to understand and explore the links between grass roots socio-economic change and the role of social workers in improving the well-being of citizens in general and specific vulnerable groups (VGs) in particular.

The main objective therefore is to assist social work professionals and other development professionals to learn how to build, manage and develop communities through effective and sustainable public and private action for poverty alleviation, employment creation, empowerment of marginalized groups and community solidarity using diversity of community development approaches.

The key questions addressed   in this module include among others: How communities organize, assess and plan for development. How community development is defined by the cultural, social, political, and economic realities of particular countries and communities how and   Gender sensitive and Microfinance lead to  development, what good governance entails and how it leads to development , what is needed to integrate economic and social development among others

This is a research methodology course that focuses on developing researching and writing skills in Computer Science & Engineering Domain. As the Computer Scientist, software developer, software engineer, research requires multidisciplinary approach. Many of the concepts are borrowed from social science, Psychology, Statistics, and other domains. Here we investigate the empirical research methods for their applicability and suitability to a research problem. As each of them comes with their strengths and weakness, perhaps a feasible, mix of such methods should provide greater insight and understanding in order to derive useful contributions.

Course Description:

The study of constitutional law attempts to give some idea of the fundamental and essential nature of the law that is basic to virtually all countries in the world.  In this respect, it is concerned with both the substantive content as well as with basic aspects of law to its subsidiary elements, namely, legislation.  It is also concerned with the link between basic law and the people at large (the question of human freedoms and individual rights).  The main issues examined in the course are the instruments of state governance/arms of government (the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary), the divisions between them, and their relationship to the ordinary citizens in the country.  Students are thus urged to keep abreast with recent and past developments in the arena of statehood and political life in Uganda, the sister East African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, (as well as Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan), and the world at large.  There is no set text for this course; however, it employs a multiplicity of sources.  Every student MUST have a copy of the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda as amended. 

Justification:

The successful completion of this course is a partial fulfillment of your bachelor of law degree. The course will offer skills, knowledge, and expertise to handle pertinent constitutional questions as a practicing or advocacy lawyer in the field. Furthermore since all laws are derived from the constitution, the skills and knowledge gained in this course will not only help you understand other vital legislation but also assist you to interpret the law more broadly.

Course Aim:

To help you appreciate issues of constitutionalism and good governance that forms the foundation of any successful society.

Course Objectives:

Through interactive lectures, group discussions, presentations, role-play, and research, you should be able to:

1.      Develop an understanding of the fundamental constitutional issues of the day.

2.      Analyze and distinguish various constitutions and determine their suitability for each given society.

3.      Recognize a constitutional problem and suggest a relevant solution.

4.      Develop an appreciation of how the law is formulated.

Medical Sociology is a concept that seeks to help students understand medicine from a holistic approach. In other words, medical sociology provides a complementary non-biomedical perspective to medical practice. It explores the covert impact of the social, psychological and emotional aspects on the health and well being of an individual or a group of people. This will includes  the following:

1. The social dynamics of health, i.e., social determinants of health
2. The psychological dynamics of health, i.e., the psychological determinants of health
3. The emotional dynamics, i.e., the emotional determinants of health

The above dynamics will be explained in their relationship with the medical determinants of health.

In its complementary role, medical sociology helps the medical practitioner to engage the patient beyond prescriptive approach to include non-prescriptive interventions that may positively impact the health outcomes of an individual.

It also provides an opportunity for the medical student to consider other branches of medicine which may not necessarily be within a health facility setting but may involve other aspects like public health or research and design of health interventions for communities. Though not a core course, yet it provides some insight into what alternatives may be open after medical school.

Welcome to Organizational Behaviour!

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.

At this point, the following are being suggested actions:

Begin to familiarize yourself with the eLearning Moodle Platform and the Alpha MIS site, which can be accessed here: https://moodle.ucu.ac.ug and https://alpha.ucu.ac.ug

Make sure to read the course syllabus, located on the Moodle page, and review the required or optional textbooks that may need to be downloaded, the scheduled live session dates/times, as well as assignment due dates, so you can plan your semester accordingly and get those dates in your professional calendar.
