Course Description

Consider this sentence: “Computers are everywhere.” Does it sound like an overstatement? No matter

how we perceive the impact of computers, the statement is true. Computers are everywhere. In fact, we

can find them in some pretty unlikely places, including our car, our home appliances end even in some

alarm clocks and other electronic devices we use. In the past two decades, computers have reaped our

lives at home, work or school. The vast majority of businesses now use computerized equipment in some

way and most companies are networked both internally and externally. Employees who once had little

use for technology now interact with computers almost every minute of the workday. It therefore

becomes essential for all business graduates to understand how this machine works and more importantly

how to use it in their professional lives in the near future. The knowledge and skills that one gains from

the course should pay dividends in the future, as computers become even more common at home and at

work.

The course begins with a basic overview of fundamentals like the many types of computers in use today

and why people use them. As our knowledge grows, we shall realize that all computers are basically

similar. Like any machine, a computer is a collection of parts which are categorized according to the

work they do. We shall learn about these various families of computer components and how this work

together and allow us to interact with the system. We shall discover the importance of software, without

which a computer could do nothing. We shall also realize that the user is an essential part of a complete

computer system.

When PCs first appeared in businesses, programs were designed for a single user. As computers spread

throughout businesses, developers began offering complex software designed for multiple users. Data

communications- the electronic transfer of information between computers- became a major focus of the

computer industry. This demand for networks has increased as businesses have realized the value of

networking. By interconnecting many individual networks into a massive single network, people around

the world can share information as though they were across the hall from one another. The Internet is an

example of one such network as is possibly the single largest network in existence today.

We have seen that hardware alone does not do much of anything. The work that hardware or operating

system can do on its own is very limited. Application software specially the office productivity suite

shifts this focus from computer to humans. The course shall focus on trying to teach some the basic

functionalities of the most commonly used productivity software in business for text and graphics,

spreadsheets and presentations.

Course Objectives

The objectives of the course are:

1. Facilitate a basic understanding of types of computers & their uses.

2. Provide a fundamental understanding of computer hardware, software and components.

3. Familiarize the students with the computer networks and the internet.

4. Facilitate an understanding of the most commonly used business application software.

Course Pre-requisite: None

Course Outcomes

At the end of the course, the students should be able to:

1. Describe how computers are used in various sectors of our society.

2. Identify the types of computers they see around them and understand the basic functionalities of each

one of them.

3. Understand the working of different components in a microcomputer and the role played by each in

the overall working of the machine.

4. Identify the benefits of using computer networks and what they are made up of.

5. Understand the reasons for creation of the Internet and the major services that one can access using

Internet.

6. Develop a basic familiarity for working with the most commonly used productivity suites and apply

these skills in business scenarios.

British Empire, the emergence of the spirit of independence amongst the population, the war of

independence and the subsequent declaration of independence. The ironical beginnings of a nation that

styles by the American authors.

and communication rather than memorizing grammatical rules. This course is given to the students with

a view to enabling them to understand the ‘grammaticality’ of English thereby enabling them to use it

flawlessly. Success-conscious people are grammar-conscious people for many good reasons since. As

we know, if we want to get ahead in almost any business or profession, we must speak and write

reasonably correct English in this age of globalization in which English has gained a dominant position.

Course Title POST-COLONIAL LITERATURE

Course Code BAEN2023

Version 1.02

Credits 4

Course Description

The course aims to provide the students with an introduction to the field of post- colonial studies which

proliferates in a variety of disciplines such as literature, film studies, history and anthropology. It maps

out the field in terms of its wider philosophical and intellectual context, drawing important connections

between postcolonial theory and other theories such as poststructuralism, Marxism and feminism. The

assessment and critique of the texts will be conducted against the specific historical, material and cultural

contexts from which they emerge. The uses and critiques of theory will be examined with a concern to

sketch out the ethical and political possibilities of solidarity and alliance in the struggles for cultural

decolonization, and for living with cultural difference non-violently. In examining how notions of the

post-colonial negotiate among different histories and cultures, straddle and traverse various borders, we

will at the same time investigate the validity and specific meanings (if any) of a "post-colonial condition"

with specific reference to African and Caribbean Literatures.

Course Objectives

1. To introduce students to post-colonial critical practice and postcolonial theory in the global

context.

2. The course focuses on texts written by authors who live in a country that was colonised, and who

write in English.

3. To familiarize students with the connection between post-colonial studies and contemporary

cultural theories.

4. To enable students to grasp the post-colonial condition in Africa and the Caribbean before and

after the handover and in the current global context.

5. Make students aware of the theoretical and practical aspects of criticism and their use in literature.

6. To help the students develop an analytical bent of mind so that they can analyse and interpret texts.

Course Pre-requisite

Understanding of the basics of Literature

Course Outcomes

On the successful completion of the course, the student would be able to:

1. Make use of post-colonial critical concepts to analyze the current cultural, social and political

condition in today’s global context.

2. Reorganize their critical knowledge of post-colonial criticism and other contemporary cultural

theories and combine the conceptual links among them.

3. Describe, analyze, answer, critique the specific meanings of the post-colonial condition.

4. Know how race, class, gender, history, and identity are presented and problematised in the

literary texts.

5. Can discuss, and analyse colonial and postcolonial texts.

6. Develop interpretative skills of close reading.

Course Title Introduction to Morphology

Course Code BAEN3017

Credit 4

Version

Course Description

What is a word? Do the things we put spaces around when we write correspond to anything in our mental

grammars? How does morphology relate to phonology, and to other areas of grammar, such as syntax

and semantics? To what extent do the principles governing the structures and forms of words need to be

boxed off from other areas of grammar, and to what extent are they symptomatic of deeper principles

which hold of the language faculty as a whole? This course aims to answer these and other questions by

examining morphological phenomena from across the world’s languages, including English and

languages which are (at least superficially) very different from it.

Course Objectives:

1. Understand and make a critical evaluation of the existing linguistic definition of the word.

2. Distinguish between the different ways into which ‘word’ can be analyzed in order to aid an

understanding of its nature.

3. Understand the notion of ‘morpheme’ and the need for it.

4. Understand the different approaches to the study of various processes of word formation, their

merits and demerits.

Course Pre requisite:

Basic knowledge of Linguistics

Course Outcome:

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

1. Understand the basic notions of English morphology

2. Explain the diversity of morphological patterns related in human languages

3. Apply a range of concept and terms from morphology to data that exemplify them

4. Identify those features which give the word its special status in a language

5. Make a distinction between regular and irregular forms in the paradigms

6. Participate in the area of research in the field of linguistics.
