Section 2: Purpose

• Context:
  This assignment extends your learning from Assignments 2–4, moving from parametric tests to non-parametric statistics. It introduces the Chi-square test for independence, which is vital for analyzing relationships between categorical variables. This analysis is particularly useful when working with survey data, health outcomes, and other categorical measures.

  By the end of the assignment, you will gain hands-on experience in preparing categorical datasets, performing chi-square analysis in STATA, and interpreting relationships between variables relevant to your field of study.

• Description:
  Students will use STATA to test the association between two categorical variables using the Chi-square test for independence. They will build on their existing dataset and journal article, converting their chosen dependent variable into a categorical form. Results must be integrated into the ongoing journal article, addressing all previous feedback.

• Task:

  • Review your previous journal article (Assignments 2–4) and correct any issues noted in feedback.

  • Using your chosen dependent variable from the Google Sheet (link here):

    1. Convert your dependent variable from a continuous/numerical measure into a categorical variable (e.g., BMI → “Underweight,” “Normal,” “Overweight”).

    2. Select one categorical independent variable (e.g., Gender, Year of Study, Living Arrangement).

    3. Using STATA, perform a Chi-square test for independence between the two categorical variables.

  • Clearly report your:

    • Hypothesis (Null and Alternative)

    • STATA output (including observed and expected frequencies)

    • Chi-square statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value

    • Interpretation of results (indicating whether a significant relationship exists)

  • Add this analysis to your journal article, under the Results and Discussion sections.

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.

Introduction

Welcome to the course Grants Management and Evaluation!  This module carries 12 credits and is a modular course. It will be divided into two streams.  The grant process follows a linear lifecycle that includes creating the funding opportunity, applying, making award decisions, and successfully implementing the award. We shall delve into all these phases to that you can get grounded as grants administrator or manager in your respective organizations.

Course Description

Success in writing and winning grants comes through practice-based effort, sustained enthusiasm, tenacity, and a commitment to turn temporary setbacks (i.e., proposal rejection). GRANTS Management is a Step by Step which starts from the basic grant writing process, submitting to the grant opportunities, following directions, building relationships, and implementing sound program planning. By employing management strategies as outlined in here, you will significantly increase your ability to turn organizational programs, projects, and even general operating needs into proposals worthy of the full consideration of funders. The course will equip the participants with knowledge needed to manage grants through the entire process and managing the evaluations there-in.

Evaluation is a component of management at various levels of any programme or project. The course will also involves assessing the terms and conditions of donor aid and grant agreements, managing multiple donors funded projects and complying with donor reporting requirements on programmes. This course therefore addresses evaluation systems of the grants life cycle including management and Evaluation with specific reference to the geopolitics of donors and recipients. Traditional and new providers of grants include the bilateral and multi-laterals, as aid, grants or development loans. Therefore, the course builds up the subject matter of responsibilities and routines of recipients of donor aid and grants. This entails management that takes track of progress in relation to donors’ expectations through a program’s life cycle, evaluation of the flow of donor funds, and the key challenges in evaluation of donor aid and grant management and the context. This course is useful for grant management officers in various development organizations, researchers on policy in the public sector and policy evaluators. It goes a long way to inform decisions on future projects.

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.

Read through the course outline, so you know the rhythm of course, and what is expected.

This course is designed to provide students with the fundamental skills to understand, use, and conduct research to advance the social work profession's knowledge base and assess the effectiveness of social work interventions in generalist social work practice. The course addresses the research process elements, quantitative and qualitative methods, research ethics, and approaches to data analysis.

Mr. Drani Ronald Buleah

Effective monitoring and evaluation rely significantly on the quality of information used.  The proper use of statistics along with words makes communicating information much easier, faster and accurate than when words are used alone. This requires that monitoring and evaluation scholars and practitioners acquaint themselves with methods of collecting, analysing, and using data. This course is designed to enhance students’ understanding of the design, conduct, data interpretation and reporting of social science research. It explores the fundamentals of scientific method and scientific inquiry.  It covers topics such as methodology, ethical considerations in research, strengths and weaknesses of diverse data collection methods, basic methods in quantitative and qualitative data collection; data analysis and interpretation; critical reading of statistics; and reporting of research findings for use in monitoring and evaluation. This will be attained through the use of discussions, analysis of peer reviewed journal articles, and hands-on practice.  Students will learn how to conduct a research project from beginning to end.

Course Description

This course emphasizes the advanced application of the person in environment, strength based and empowerment perspectives of social work practice.  While Interventions I emphasizes the skills needed to apply this model, this course emphasizes the application of the generalist practice model of planned change to all levels of social work practice including micro(individual), mezzo(family, group) and macro (broader systems changes).  This course will pay particular attention to the application of the generalist practice model of planned change within an East African context. Social work values and ethics will also be applied to all levels of practice.

Course Objectives:

After completing this course students will be able to:

1.      Identify the GPM (generalist practice model) of planned change; 

2.      Analyze the strengths and challenges of this model within an African context;

3.      Apply the strength based and empowerment perspectives and principles to the implementation of the GPM  of planned change regardless of the size of the target population;

4.      Apply the GPM of planned change to specific problems at the micro, mezzo and macro levels within an East African context;

5.      Recognize ethical dilemmas in social work practice and demonstrate the ability to apply a model of ethical decision making and

6.      Apply critical thinking and scientific methods to analyze and evaluate social work practice in the generalist model.

COURSE SYLLABUS

COURSE DESCRIPTION 

MSW 414 introduces a generalist perspective of social work practice and offers a problemsolving framework for social work practice that includes exploration, assessment, goal setting, planning, implementation, evaluation and termination. The course incorporates processes of professional relationship development, communication, role-taking, ethical decision making and the principle of empowerment in practice with multi-size client systems. 

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.
