Theme of the Seminar
Curriculum design and development has engendered a history of debate and discussion amongst those involved in academics. Perhaps this is so because the curriculum when set in zplace affirms certain immediate coordinates in pedagogy including teaching methodology and grading processes. Besides these, the effects of the curriculum take shape in terms of specific competencies developed in the student body. This results in the turnout of a correspondingly abled work force, its further employability and effectively, the sustenance of market desirables.
