Description
This unit is an introductory course whose main aim is to broaden your
understanding and perspective of oral literature through studying the oral literature
of your community and that of other East African communities. I am aware that,
by now, most of you are exposed to some oral literature both through formal
education and also through contact with the material as is practiced and performed
within your own communities. However, I am also aware that due to various
influences, students are not able to fully appreciate the multidimensionality of the
oral literature discipline and more so its significance in literary studies. This course
is thus designed so that your understanding of the subject becomes broadened and
that you are able to appreciate: (a), the place of oral literature within the wider
literary studies and African literature in particular. Oral literature needs to be
recognised as a unique form of literary expression, exhibiting imaginative and
creative dimensions that enrich the study of African literature; (b) the place of oral
literature within the rich heritage of the African Oral traditions; (c) the place of
oral literature in the rediscovery of African cultural heritage eclipsed by
unfavorable historical circumstances and (d) the place of oral literature within the
Contemporary written African literary tradition
Below is the document preview.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
A graph is a visual method of illustrating the behaviour of a particular function. It is easy to see from a graph how as x changes, the value of f(x) is changing. The graph is thus much easier to understand and interpret than a table of values. For example by looking at a graph we can tell whether f(x) is increasing or decreasing as x increases or decreases. We can also tell whether the rate of change is slow or fast. Maximum and minimum values of the function can be seen at a glance. For particular values of x, it is easy to read the values of f(x) and vice versa i.e. graphs can be used for estimation purposes

ASC 305/ASC 325: CRIMINOLOGY AND DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR
The term criminology emanated from the word crime. Crime constitutes actions of omission or
commission that contravenes the laws and regulations of the land. These actions and behaviors that are
outlawed in the penal code have resulted in injury, death and even loss of property. Crime is a worldwide
phenomenon that has assumed the centre-stage position in national and global politics. Indeed, the threat
to life and property is real and threatens the very fabric that holds human society. Criminology therefore
is the body of knowledge that looks at crime as a social phenomenon. It entails the scientific study of crime, criminals and the criminal justice system. Within its scope, it looks at among others, the process of making laws, law breaking, and societal reaction towards the breaking of laws.

ASC 326: Community Development
Trending!
To define the concept of community development effectively may require that the concept of
development is equally defined. This is because the concept of development is rather
problematic to define. Nevertheless the concept of development is best understood from two broad perspectives. One view is to see development as an end state – indeed a desirable goal to
be attained. The implication of this perspective is that development becomes a package that has top be delivered in full for one to acknowledge that development has taken place For instance, if the desired end is a life where the needs of all members of a society are met, then
this view would hold that unless all needs are met (and that means literally all needs without exception) then development has not taken place.

APS 309: PSYCHOLOGY OF LANGUAGE
Trending!
It concerned with discovering psychological processes that make it possible
for human beings to acquire and use language. We want to remember, in earlier years (at
age five) whether there was nobody who taught on syntactic, phonological, morphological
and semantic rules of grammar of language. It is obvious that children do not learn a
language by memorizing the sentences of language and storing them rather they have acquired a system of rules that enable them to construct and understand sentences they have
never heard or produced before. How do children acquire such intricate system so quickly
and effortlessly
