Dear Student,

Welcome to the course site. The site provides you with 16 sessions. Each session is organized into three sets of activities. The first set consists of activities you are expected to do before coming to the class. You are expected to read the materials provided, attend the multimedia resources linked and do study questions before coming to the class. These activities will help you come prepared for the class. 

The second set of sessions "during class" provides a PPT for the face-to-face discussion. During the class hours, much of the time will be dedicated for discussion and reflection on the topics of the lesson. This will help you learn more .and achieve the lesson objects. Of course, the productivity of the lesson will depend on your engagement in the before session activities. Those who come prepared will benefit most.    

The third set of sessions, "after session," deals with the activities provided in the form of assignments, exercises and quiz. These activities will help extend classroom learning to applications in the world of work or life, assess progress toward the lesson objectives and providers feedback to your progress.

Your engagement in the lesson contents will be facilitated by the forum and chat facilities of the course site. Everything required to study the course is just a click away. This helps you to focus and devote your time to your learning rather than searching for resources. 

Enjoy your study!
