Course image Environental Impact Assessment
Non category Courses

         Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is now increasingly being seen and used within the wider context of serving 'sustainable development' objectives.This role was highlighted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992 where Principle 17 of the Rio Declaration, and to Rwanda  is a signatory, states.

EIA , as a national instrument, shall be undertaken for proposed activities that are likely to have a significant adverse impact on the environment and are subject to a decision of a competent national authority".

This course of EIA  will enable students to  develop a working knowledge of common EIA techniques,identify the necessary environmental controls that can help mitigate environmental impact,  and it will provide skills of conducting environmental impact assessment . at the end of this course , the students will appreciate the EIA process and role , that will enable them to integrate it in their  development initiatives.

Introduction

General Climatology is a component of the Basic of Environmental Science; it is the
it is the study of atmospheric phenomena over periods of time measured in months, years or longer. This course includes information on average weather conditions, infrequent and unusual types of weather, and the influence of weather on the cultural and human land scape.
This course includes information on average weather conditions, infrequent and unusual types of weather, the influence of weather on the cultural and human land scape, and the climate change and global warming as well as their impacts on agriculture.

Objectives

The course objectives are to: 

(1) introduce the climate of Earth as an integration of the fundamental principles of the Earth-atmosphere system, in order to (2) create an understanding of spatial and temporal variability in Earth’s climate, allowing for (3) an examination of the synergistic human-climate relationship.

During the lecture, I will sometimes use films and other media to illustrate climatology concepts, and ask you to critique the material.

Course image Introduction to Research Methods
Non category Courses

The module targets 1st year students of journalism and communication. It is about basics of research since it introduces students to academic life whereby research is of great importance.  It has 3 main components: Introduction to Computer Skills, Academic Research and Writing Skills, and Introduction to Research Methods. This module gives the students an appreciation of the use of computers in accomplishing different tasks. Special focus is given in communication and journalism-related activities. The module also helps students to explore the different skills required in the academic reading and writing process.  This learning is enhanced by a demonstration of the central role played by libraries in the life of students – library research skills necessary for independent study and research.

The last part of the module discusses the research process proper – rationale for research, types of research and their designs, sources of research ideas as well as putting together the research report.

Course summary

In this course we have defined cartography as a discipline dealing with the conception, production, dissemination and study of maps in all forms.

Chapter 1 is concerned with cartography fundamentals in which cartography principles related to concept of projection system and map scale are developed. This chapter is dealing also with the cartographic language explaining the map symbols and visual variables. Chapter 2 presents the basics of mapmaking explaining the cartographic documents (map types), describing the map components and presenting the stages of thematic map construction. Chapter 3 is concerned with map reading and interpretation in which the rules and their application to the thematic map are presented.
