Meaning and definition of Risk Evaluation. Risk Characterization: the qualitative and/or quantitative estimation, attendant uncertainties, probability of occurrence and severity of known or potential adverse health effects on a population based on hazard identification, hazard characterization and exposure assessment. Requirements for risk characterization such as mathematical knowledge (as in modelling data), knowledge of the process under consideration, and microbiological knowledge and expertise is invariably needed. Stages of risk characterization: (i) combining previous MRA steps; (ii) summarizing the risk; (iii) variability in risk; (iv) validation against experience. Determination of risk management priorities through establishment of qualitative and /or quantitative relationships between benefits and associative risks. Risk evaluation process: identification, probability and impact, moment of risk, treatment, secondary risk, residual risk, and monitoring and review. Techniques of reduction and management of environmental risks: substitution, information about the safe use and disposal of agents to the public and users, and limiting the availability of the agent. Elementary Risk Sensitivity analysis

The course intends to expose students to art problems in general by selecting topics in the field that will require the use of previous knowledge. How should performance in art be evaluated? How researchable is the art product? Does art teaching need theory? What factors can influence societal development in art? How does society benefit from the artist and the connoisseur, among other themes? 300 Level Visual Communication

Students are expected to spend six (6) months of the second semester of 400 level for practical work experience in any organization of their choice relevant to Urban Regional Planning profession. They are to participate in activities such as map making, planning practices, land survey, GIS and Remote sensing, Land, human and socio-economic surveys, basic field operations, equipment and facilities and any related assignments. They are to be supervised and a technical report is expected to be submitted for assessment after an oral defence has been completed by the students. 500 Level

This programme is meant to expose students to a combination of field and office experience related to construction activities both in the public and private sectors. It is a period of compulsory, supervised Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), in addition to laboratories/workshop/practical/studio training received during teaching period. The programme is conducted for a minimum period of one semester. It takes place during the second semester of the 400 level of the programme of study. Students are expected to submit a systematic log- book for assessment at the end of the training period. Students with unsatisfactory performance shall be required to repeat the training programme.
