Students work on stage management aspect of a production in a rehearsal and performance environment.
This course is designed to give the students some knowledge of the fundamental principles and methods of statistics and their use in agriculture. Topics include - sampling techniques, drawing charts and graphs, calculating averages, measures of dispersions, regression and correlation, calculating probabilities, hypothesis testing.
This course is an introductory course to descriptive inferential statistics. Participants will learn how to calculate mean, mode, median; measure dispersion for grouped and ungrouped data; define and calculate probabilities; analyze the normal curve; take sample, state and explain an hypothesis and draw inferences based on such statistics.
This introductory course for students of Economics, Accounts and related disciplines focuses on basic statistical techniques.
This short consultancy will focus on the design of curricula that would assist students who are desirous of entering the Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic (SJPP) but perform poorly in the entrance exam or even fail said examination. As such, the intention is to provide a framework where these students matriculate into the institution but enter into this newly crafted program, which focuses on enhancing student competence in both English and Mathematics to increase their ability to complete the theory based subjects offered at the SJPP.

The course also covers direct stress and strain, shear stress and strain, thermal stress and strain, stress and strain due to suddenly applied and impact loads and shear force and bending moments.
This course continues the applied science component of the programme. Students explore the fundamental engineering principles employed in basic structural design. Topics include theory of struts; columns subjected to axial, bending and shearing forces and temperature effects; pin-jointed plane frameworks, and connections in structural steelwork.
It is recommended that all students unfamiliar with Moodle's online courses complete this tutorial before beginning their assigned course.
