BIB3010 Reading the New Testament Missionally

Did the New Testament give rise to mission or did mission give rise to the New Testament? Many Christians are inclined to think it is the former but the New Testament itself is a product of mission itself. With this in mind, we begin this course by clarifying some key terms (e.g. missional, hermeneutic) before turning to the New Testament documents. Through our study of these and the assessments given the student learns how to approach the New Testament from a missional perspective that appreciates it rootedness and relevance in the first-century cultures, its complex story-like unity with the Old Testament, and its multifaceted witness to the climactic nature of Jesus and his work.

ENS3110 Environments of Africa: Case Studies in Natural Resources

The African continent has abundant natural resources, yet the continent has some of the poorest countries in the world and the quest for control over these natural resources has plunged the continent into many civil wars. This course will focus on the causes of this paradox by analyzing the root causes of this disparity. Special emphasis will be placed on an understanding of the natural resources in the African continent and the environmental socio-economic, and political impact of the exploration and exploitation of these resources.

BIO3210 River & Lake Biology

Although only 1% of the Earth's water is fresh, Freshwater ecology is very fundamental. This course focuses on five aspects of Freshwater ecology. (1) Fundamentals of the origin and age of rivers and lakes, lake morphometry and river and lake catchment properties. (2) Focus on the physicochemical parameters of aquatic systems, as well as the underlying concepts. (3) River and lake biotics, such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, etc, in running and standing waters. (4) The inter-relationship between both biotic and abiotic aspects of these water bodies; addressed in the context of food web interactions. Emphasis will be laid on shallow lakes and concepts of cascading trophic interactions, alternative stable states, niche shifts, succession, and trophic concepts. (5) Finally, discussion on the effect of anthropogenic pressure on these systems would be made in the light of contamination and eutrophication; Concepts of biomonitoring, restoration, rehabilitation, and biomanipulation will also be discussed as part of remediation efforts.

BIO3200 Marine Biology

The oceans cover about 72% of the earth's surface, containing 97% of the earth's water and abundance of live forms sustaining unique ecosystems. Despite its fundamental relevance, human action over the past years have is severely affecting oceans worldwide. this adds to the need to study them. This course will cover an overview of marine biology from a global approach, using examples from different areas and different ecosystems. some focus will be given to tropical marine ecology, including coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses. In this course, the general physical and chemical features of oceans will be studied as well; highlighting how global climate changes are affecting the oceans.

ETHNOMUSICOLOGY: MASTER

ENS5110 Environments of Africa: Case Studies in Natural Resources

This course is an advanced course designed to give students an in-depth understanding of natural resources in the African continent. Detailed cases students of selected countries will be done by students to establish the root causes of the present paradox experienced by the African continent, whereby the continent has some of the largest deposits of natural resources yet has some of the poorest countries. Cases studies will place special emphasis on an understanding of the natural resources in the African continent and the environmental socio-economic, and political impact of the exploration and exploitation of these resources.

MUSIC & WORSHIP STUDIES: ASSOCIATE

ENS2200 Earth Resources & Sustainable Development

Our civilization is heavily dependent on the extraction, transformation and utilization of Earth resources. These natural resources are not infinite, therefore the need for sustainable development. This course will cover the fundamentals of Earth resources such as coal, gold, petroleum, mineral sands, and base metals, and geothermal energy. Special emphasis will be placed on the sustainable exploitation and utilization of these and other Earth resources.

ECO2500 Intro to Urban Ecology

Introduction to Urban Ecology explores the basic principles of ecology and how those principles present themselves in urban settings. We examine the historical/present-day diversity of urban centers, including the benefits/detriments of such aggregation of peoples across various temporal and geographical scales. We will garner a sense of the "needs" related to stewarding God's creation and those needs of humanity created in these environs, in particular, the one in which we live. We also brainstorm ideas for missional outreach one can develop and implement in an effort to fulfill the "dominion principle" (Genesis 1:26-28) and to further our Lord's Kingdom.
