The course introduces the philosophical and epistemological aspects of research. It emphasizes the relevance of methodology for the study of and research in political sciences. Courses cover a wide range of issues from the philosophy of science and epistemology, through the nature and processes of science and the social sciences, history of political science and its status as a science, questions of theory and causation and how we study political science as a science. The following topics will be covered; the factors to consider in selecting a research topic in political science; topic formulation; research proposal writing; the conceptual foundation of research; literature review, significance and approaches; research design; target population, meaning, significance and how to select the research target population; meaning, significance of sample size and sampling techniques; data collection instruments and how to select appropriate ones; data presentation; the meaning and significance of data analysis; data analysis techniques. Further emphasis on explanation and prediction in social science and inter-paradigm debate in political science are elucidated.

Etymological definition The term “philosophy” is derived from a combination of two Greek words, namely philia (love) and Sophia (wisdom) meaning “love of wisdom.” You may therefore, define philosophy as “love of wisdom.” This definition has persisted for more than two thousand years. It is said that the first one to call himself a philosopher was Pythagoras, a Greek who lived somewhere between 570 and 495 B.C.E. and spent most of his life in southern Italy. He is of course known by his famous mathematical theorem. When once asked if he was wise, he replied that no one could be wise but a god, but that he was a lover of wisdom. To love something does not mean to possess it but to focus our life on it. Whereas Pythagoras introduced the term philosopher, it was Socrates who made it famous. For Socrates (467- 399 B.C.), love of wisdom entails the pursuit of truth and nothing but objective truth. He said that the philosopher was one who had a passion for wisdom and who was intoxicated by this love. For Plato (427-347, it is gaining the vision of absolute ideas, that is, one must be able to discover what the character of universal reality is. Aristotle (384-322), a follower of Plato reinforces the view when he stated that philosophy is the investigation of all things, which takes into account logical rules in the determination of the true nature of reality.

Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes occurring in living organisms. Biochemistry is concerned with structures and properties of biomolecules found in living systems in order to understand structure-function relationships. In addition, biochemistry is concerned with chemical transformations of biomolecules, and the energy changes associated with these transformations. These chemical transformations are collectively referred to as metabolism.

Biomolecules are the primary building blocks of every living organism. Together, they promote different biological processes, which are necessary for life. They vary in structures and sizes. Biomolecules primarily consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

The document discusses phonetic and phonological analysis. It begins by explaining the three dimensions used to analyze speech sounds: 1) air stream mechanisms, 2) vocal tract, and 3) vocal organs. It then discusses the central pool of human speech sounds

The document provides an introduction to management, discussing its definition, characteristics, levels, and key functions including planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling.

An invertebrate is any animal without an internal backbone which includes animals such as insects, crustaceans, worms, jellyfish and sponges. The diversity of invertebrate species far outnumbers that of the vertebrate animals. One group of invertebrates called Arthropods, which includes insects, spiders and crustaceans, contains almost 80% of all animal species. The remaining invertebrates constitute between 12-15% of all animal species.

This unit is intended to introduce learners to the animal kingdom, and to acquire knowledge and skills in lower animals, their evolution and structural adaptations.

The term taxonomy is used when referring specifically to the process of naming. Nomenclature refers to the actual names or word structure used in names. The naming system, or classification system, employed in biology involves a series of categories in a hierarchy so that each level includes several sublevels.

Surveying is defined as “taking a general view of, by observation and measurement determining the boundaries, size, position, quantity, condition, value etc. of land, estates, building, farms mines etc. and finally presenting the survey data in a suitable form”. This covers the work of the valuation surveyor, the quantity surveyor, the building surveyor, the mining surveyor and so forth, as well as the land surveyor.

Taxonomy may be defined as the study and description of the variation of organisms, the investigation of the causes and consequences of this variation, and the manipulation of the data obtained to produce a system of classification.

This exploration of taxonomy, nomenclature, herbarium curation, botanical gardens, and selected angiosperm families provides a detailed understanding of plant diversity, classification,

The purpose of this module is to ground learners into matters of information sources, systems and usage. In particular it aims at enabling learners identify and evaluate a wide variety of information sources and services. This will be an interactive instructional module that will provide collaborative learning styles. In this module you will be able to identify and define information sources so that you can be able to explain how they are applicable in information centres.

This document discusses principles of teaching and learning styles. It defines effective teaching as demonstrating competency across seven domains: social regard for learning, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum, planning and assessment, community linkages, and personal growth.

The document outlines the concepts and objectives of collection development in libraries, emphasizing the importance of providing relevant information to users through well-organized collections. It discusses user needs, types of information resources, and the necessity for libraries to maintain their collections while considering the diverse needs of their user communities. Additionally, it touches on the challenges librarians face in meeting these needs, including funding limitations and the growing demand for various media formats.
