0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHING IN THE PROGRAMME


The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the
provisions of the National Policy on Education which stresses the need
to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who
so wishes to transfer the units already completed to an institution of
similar standard from which he/she is transferring.

The success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of


programmes between the institutions and industries; the curriculum
content has been written in behavioral objectives, so that it is clear to
all, the expected performance of the student who successfully
completed some of the courses of the programme.

It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department


teaching the Programme to write their own curriculum stating the
conditions existing in the institution under which the performance can
take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an
acceptable level of performance. Departmental submission on the
final curriculum may be vetted by the Academic Board of the
institution.

The aim is to continue to enhance a solid internal evaluation system in


each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of
education in the programmes offered throughout the system.

The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as


possible be integrated. Practical exercises especially those in
professional courses and laboratory work should not be taught in
isolation of the theory. For each course, there should be a balance
of theory to practice in the ratio of 50:50.
