BIOCHEMISTRY

This course provides the students with better understanding of the different basic concepts of the chemistry of life. Included in this course is the brief review of the fundamental principles in organic chemistry and biological science like studying the conventional chemical symbols and functional groups of organic compounds as well as the structures and functions of the fundamental unit of life-the cell. The important part of this course is studying the foundational principles of biochemistry comprising of the four major groups of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Moreover, this covered the topics about enzymes, Chemical communication: Neurotransmitters and hormones, nucleotides, nucleic acids, and heredity, gene expression, and protein synthesis, bioenergetics: how the body converts food to energy, specific catabolic pathways: carbohydrates, lipids, and protein metabolism, biosynthetic pathways, nutrition, and lastly immunochemistry.

MICROBIOLOGY AND PARASITOLOGY

This course designs to assist students in the study of important microorganisms   and parasites. It       explains the physiology and pathogenic properties of bacteria, fungi, and viruses as an introduction to disease causation, their biology, the infection they cause, host response to this infection and their mode of transmission, prevention, treatment and nursing responsibilities. The laboratory experiences provide specimen collection, handling and processing of specimens for isolation and identification of microorganisms and parasites involved in the infectious processes.

UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

The course deals with the nature of identity, as well as the factors and forces that effect the development and maintenance of personal identity. The Directive to Know Oneself has inspired countless and varied ways to comply. Among the questions that everyone has had to grapple with at one time or other is “Who am I?” At no other period is this question asked more urgently than in adolescence – traditionally believed to be a time of vulnerability and great possibilities. Issues of self and identity are among the most critical for the young. This course is intended to facilitate the exploration of the issues and concerns regarding self and identity to arrive at a better understanding of one’s self. It strives to meet this goal by stressing the integration of the personal with the academic contextualizing matters discussed in the classroom and in the everyday experiences of students- making for better learning, generating a new appreciation for the learning process, and developing a more critical and reflective attitude while enabling them to manage and improve their selves to attain a better quality of life. The course is divided into three major parts: The first part seeks to understand the construct of the self from various disciplinal perspectives: philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and psychology-  as well as the more traditional division between the East and West – each seeking to provide answers to the difficult but essential question of “What is the self?” And raising, among others, the question: “Is there even such a construct as the self?”

 

The second part explores some of the various aspects that make up the self, such as the biological and material up to and including the more recent Digital Self. The third and final part identifies three areas of concern for young students: learning, goal setting, and managing stress.  It also provides for the more practical application of the concepts discussed in this course and enables them the hands-on experience of developing self-help plans for self-regulated learning, goal setting, and self-care. This course includes the mandatory topics on Family Planning and Population Education.
