This module aims at giving the student an introductory conceptualization and appreciation in   stage acting and improvisation, aural skills and dance choreography. 

Community Theatre For development is a kind of participatory theatre that encourages improvisation and allows audience members to take roles in the performance or it can be fully scripted and staged, with the audience simply observing. Many productions are a blend of the two. The Theatre of the Oppressed, an influential collection of theatrical forms developed by Augusto Boal (Brazilian) in the 1970s, is a central theatrical part of community theatre for development as it aims to create dialogue and interaction between audience and performer as a means of promoting social and political change. Contending that it has the potential to build developmental consciousness among community members around social issues affecting them, Community theatre provides a believable and interesting way to explore cultural, socio-economic, and developmental realities thereby changing the way people think, entertain, socialize and act. Community theatre also serves as a platform for diverse cultural expression. It brings stories from different backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives to the forefront, offering audiences a rich couple of narratives they might not encounter elsewhere. Simply, this module “PEE3141” is to equip undergraduate students with couple of knowledge, skills and techniques to engage the audience, survey a significant relevance of community theatre for development, design and act the authentic theatrical performance and presentation in outdoor spaces without a specific paying audience, as well as exploring the potentials of Community theatre as a tool for Social -economic change.

In this module, students will be also exposed to the school life experience.  

This module is dedicated to mathematical and Computational methods for Physics. The Module introduces fundamental theorems of vector analysis, curvilinear and orthogonal coordinates, Fourier series and Fourier transforms, second order differential equations, mathematical physics equations and computer oriented numerical methods. The applications in physics will be emphasized. 

Electromagnetism is the module taught for level II students in MPE, PCE and PGE Combinations in Mathematics, Science and Physical Education Department at UR-College of Education, School of Education. This module has 10 credits unit and is taught in semester one of every academic year.This course introduces the basic concepts and principles of electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell Equations, propagation of electromagnetic waves, and their applications. The main aim of the module is to allow the students to explain electromagnetic phenomena, solve problems and perform experiments related to electromagnetism.

This module contains two parts. First part deals with atomic physics and the second part deals with nuclear physics. The module introduces the basic concepts and principles of atomic nuclear and particle physics. 

This course will provide the student with an introduction to the essential components of assessments of health technologies with a particular focus on drugs as technologies. During the course, the concept of health technology assessment and pharmacoeconomics and their different facets will be discussed. We will then delve more in depth into the specific methods that are used for the economic evaluations of new pharmaceuticals and new health technologies, and in doing so, will discuss specific issues that might be encountered when performing an economic analysis or evaluating an economic evaluation. The scientific entrepreneur illustrates through real life examples, how pharmaceutical and biotech companies have been set up and developed innovative products.

Welcome to the module "Biostatistics and Pharmaceutical calculations".You will learn statistical principles to solving problems in the medical field, and related disciplines. Further, this module will entail the basic mathematics applied to the preparation, safe , and effective use of pharmaceuticals.

Firstly, this module familiarizes students with fundamental principles of structural organization of plant organisms at the cellular, tissue, organ and organismal levels; help them to evidentiate morpho-anatomical indicators for medicinal plants and vegetable products identification; obtain skills for preparation and description of microscopic preparations, identification and herborizing of medicinal plants, critical thinking in addressing basic plant knowledge application in pharmacy. The second part explores the basic concepts and practices of Traditional medicine to support healing and maintain health and the role of ethno-pharmacology.

This module covers a deep study of principles of medicine action and the relevance for clinical use. Lectures will address major disease processes in each organic system and the therapeutic properties of medicines used to treat them. This module also emphasizes on the study of the toxicological concerns including medicine adverse reactions, the toxicity occurring as a result of metabolism, carcinogenicity. Basic laboratory techniques used in experimental pharmacology and toxicology constitute the practical part.

The module has a total of 14 topics including 9 topics for Pharmacology and 5 topics for Toxicology.
