Second- and Third-year Courses

AFRI2001 Education Field Trip to an African Country

Dr Adams Bodomo

Summer semester (6 credits)

(This course is also offered to second and third year non-BA students for inter-faculty broadening purposes.)

In this course, students will be led by an experienced faculty member on a supervised two-week educational field trip to an African country, such as Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Cameroon, and Mauritius. The rationale is to closely observe and study an aspect of Africa introduced in one of the courses on Africa Studies or in a related course. Leading up to the field trip, students must participate in three-weeks of intensive preparation in Hong Kong. After returning to Hong Kong, students will be required to attend class meetings over one week. In addition, students will also be required to complete a written report of about 5,000 words based on the experience and knowledge they have acquired during the field trip.

Assessment: 100% coursework.
