DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES

A development perspective is a course designed to instil and expose students to the culture, value and worthiness of internalizing development concepts and issues. A student who participates in the course is expected to come out as a critical analyst of development thinking and probably develops his/her own development thinking for others to appreciate. Students taking this course are encouraged to start viewing development from different facets other than those inscribed in the known development theories. The course aims at instilling a culture of critical analysis of development issues and trends in the world among learners so as to form their own understanding of development.
