Postgraduate research supervision is an area of concern in improving the quality of research ouputs but also the profile of postgraduate  students. Many supervisors improvise their supervision and tend to do it the same way they have been supervised. However, the supervision should happen in the context, it should consider available resources, the culture and both individual and institutional expectations. The present course will comprise a series of expert presentations on matters pertaining to supervision in general but with a special focus on supervision of STEM Education research. it is intended for current and prospective supervisors.

This module intends to equip students with critical thinking and problem solving skills. It introduces to students with basic concepts of real valued functions, their properties and applications.

Statistics is essentially a decision making tool. This module imparts knowledge on fundamental statistical concepts and how to convert data into information, which enables policy makers, managers, and researchers to make informed decisions.

Software Architecture and design is becoming the mainstream of software design systems for software development. Architecture embodies information about components and their interaction, but omits information about components that does not pertain to their interaction. Thus, an architecture is foremost an abstraction of a system that suppresses details of components that do not affect the use, the relations and interactions of components. Private details of components, details that have to do solely with internal implementation and are not externally visible, are not architectural. In short, architecture determines how components interact, not how they are implemented.

The main purpose of this course is to equip Level II students with advanced academic reading and advanced academic writing skills. In addition, learners will be exposed to scientific writing techniques like avoiding plagiarism:  summarizing, paraphrasing, synthesizing, citing sources and referencing. Through presentations, speaking skills will also be enhanced.

IN THIS MODULE IS AIMED TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMPUTER MAINTENANCE; TO PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND NORMAL PROGRAMMING CONSTRUCT.
