It is a very important document in the sense that it is intended to guide students and give them direction throughout their stay here at the Bayero University, Kano. The Handbook has been carefully prepared with the objective of giving you all the necessary information that you require not only in understanding the structure of the postgraduate programme (M.Sc. Public Nutrition and Policy) but also the rules, regulations and guidelines that you need to follow to enable you successfully pursue your studies in the Faculty and indeed, the University. The Handbook covers a wide range of areas that, if carefully read and fully internalized, will make your study and, indeed stay at the Bayero University, Kano successful, pleasant, and rewarding. The areas include philosophy and objectives of the programme, admission requirements, graduation requirements, academic regulations, general conduct and discipline, dress code, course outline, and course description, among others. I urge you to read this Handbook carefully and make good use of it. For the avoidance of doubt, you are reminded that your degree certificate is awarded based on character and learning and not on learning alone. You are required to be hard working and to always strive for excellence. You are also required at all times to maintain discipline and obey the University‟s Rules and Regulations. The University will neither tolerate violation of its rules and regulations nor those who cross the bounds of decency. At the same time, the Centre and the University as a whole will do everything possible to assist you in realizing your legitimate objectives, i.e. your fundamental reason for coming to the University. I wish you a very pleasant and successful stay at the Bayero University, Kano. Prof. Muhammad Yahuza Bello Vice Chancellor 5 MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT It gives me a great pleasure and privilege to write the message of the first edition of the M.Sc. Public Health Nutrition and Policy Student handbook. Postgraduate programmes in the Department have been offered since year 2002. The student handbook will be of immense value to not only postgraduate students but other students of the Department. The handbook contains useful information that will guide students on the philosophy, objectives, admission requirements of the programme, grading system, staff list, outline of course structure and synopsis. I wish you a very fruitful and resourceful academic pursuit in the University. Prof. Adamu Jibril Alhassan Head of Department 6 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Semester System The Centre, in line with the University Regulation operates a semester system which is defined as a quantitative organization of the curriculum where courses are divided into examinable units and for which a student earns credit if passed. The courses are arranged in a well-defined order that indicates the credits load as well as the semester in which they are offered. For instance, a course coded PHP8201 where 8 indicates 800 level course, 2 indicates credit units, and 01 indicates the course number. Usually odd-numbered courses are for the 1st semester, while even numbers are assigned to 2nd semester courses. Basic Concepts The main concepts used in the semester system are: Credit Unit (CU) Credit Unit (CU) represents the weight assigned to the course, and is recorded in credit hours. One credit is considered as one hour of classroom lecture per week or two hours of laboratory exercise per week. Thus, CU consists of specified number of student teacher hours/week/semester. Grade Point (GP) This involves assigning numerical or alphabetical letter to the scores of students at examinations, reports or projects. Letter systems generally run as A (5 points), B+ (4.5 points), B (4 points), C+ (3.5 points), C (3 points) and F (0 point). Grade Point Average (GPA) This refers to the evaluation of students‟ performance in any semester. It is the average of weighted grade points earned in the courses offered by a student in a semester. The GPA is calculated as follows: GPA = TCE TCR Where; TCE =Total Credits Earned and TCR = Total Credits Registered 7 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) The CGPA represents an up-to-date average (i.e. cumulative) of the GPA earned by the student in at least two semesters. It is an indication of the student‟s overall performance at any point in the course of his/ her training at the university. CGPA is attained after two semesters or more in an academic programme. Calculation of CGPA/GPA The CGPA is calculated as follows: CGPA = CPE CCR where; CPE is cumulative points earned. CCR is cumulative credits registered Session An Academic year of two semesters as determined by Senate. Semester A period of 15 teaching weeks or as determined by Senate. Examination A formal test by written, oral or practical means held at an appointed time and place. Carry Over A student who fails to earn a minimum of 50 marks in a course (continuous assessment and examination) would be required to carry-over the course at the next available period and get it registered bearing in mind that there is maximum number of credits registerable per semester and per session for each level. Incomplete Status If a student earns 75% lectures attendance in a course but due to sickness, accident or other pertinent reason(s) is unable to write the semester examination, he/she would be granted incomplete status to retain his/her CA and be allowed to write the examination for that course at a later date. Suspension of Studies It means period approved by the Senate for a student to be away from academic activities (based on student‟s application and supporting documents). It is usually granted for a maximum period of one academic session but could be granted again (renewed) on application for one more academic session only. This usually does not count in determining the maximum period of stay of a student in the University. 8 Rustication It means staying away from academic work for the period stated (either one semester or two). In this case, all academic exercise of the concerned student is cancelled and he/she will be required to repeat all at the next academic session. As rustication is a punishment, the period of rustication will count in determining the student‟s maximum period of stay in the University. Withdrawal Withdrawal means terminating a student‟s programme of study on academic ground. A student who fails to sit for examination scheduled for a particular semester (absent throughout) without valid reason(s) would be considered to have voluntarily withdrawn from the University.

The two has a symbiotic relationship. They are expected to solve society’s problems through provision of knowledgeable and well behaved individuals, high level skilled manpower for the workforce and also researches and innovations The University Library is vested with the responsibility of providing needed information materials to achieve this. In developing countries like Nigeria, employers of labour often complain of the un-employability of our university graduates as well as research results not being adopted by industries. A poor university-industry linkage is evident in Nigeria. There is a disconnect between the universities and the industries that they produce the skilled manpower and research reports.

  • Access to Online Arabic Information Resources by the Academics in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and Bayero University Kano
    Access to online Arabic information resources by the Academics in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and Bayero University Kano Hamza Ukashatu Musa1, NCE, BLIS, MLIS (ABU) CLN, Department Of Library and Information Science, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This study was set out to investigate the Access to Online Arabic Information Resources by Academics in the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and Bayero University Kano. Design/Methodology: In order to achieve this objective, 3 research questions were formulated and two hypotheses were tested at 0.05. A survey method was employed in the conduct of this study. The entire population was used for this study, which was made up of all the academics teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in ABU Zaria and BUK. A well-structure questionnaire was administered to 126 of Academics in both ABU Zaria and BUK with a total of 79 (62.7%) copies returned. The data collected for the study were presented and analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Frequency distribution tables, percentages and histograms were also used for the descriptive statistics while One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and T-test were used to test the two hypotheses formulated and determine the areas of differences among the Academics teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in both Universities. Findings: It was discovered that, over 60% of the academics teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and Bayero University, Kano were not accessing the online Arabic information resources available due to lack of awareness of the availability and lack of information literacy skill(s).
