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

Design & Analysis of Algorithm Trending!
We study data structures so that we can learn to write more efficient programs. But why must programs be efficient when new computers are faster every year? The reason is that our ambitions grow with our capabilities. Instead of rendering efficiency needs obsolete, the modern revolution in computing power and storage capability merely raises the efficiency stakes as we computerize more complex tasks. The quest for program efficiency need not and should not conflict with sound design and clear coding. Creating efficient programs has little to do with “programming tricks” but rather is based on good organization of information and good algorithms. A programmer who has not mastered the basic principles of clear design is not likely to write efficient programs. Conversely, “software engineering” cannot be used as an excuse to justify inefficient performance. Generality in design can and should be achieved without sacrificing performance, but this can only be done if the designer understands how to measure performance and does so as an integral part of the design and implementation process. Most computer science curricula recognize that good programming skills begin with a strong emphasis on fundamental software engineering principles. Then, once a programmer has learned the principles of clear program design and implementation, the next step is to study the effects of data organization and algorithms on program efficiency

Lesson 2 Computer Animation - Character Animation Trending!
• Character Animation • Posture representation • Hierarchical structure of the body Character animation is a specialized area of the animation process, which involves bringing animated characters to life. The role of a Character Animator is analogous to that of a film or stage actor, and character animators are often said to be "actors with a pencil" (or a mouse). Character animators breathe life in their characters, creating the illusion of thought, emotion and personality. Character animation is often distinguished from creature animation, which involves bringing photo-realistic animals and creatures to life.
