Prerequisite: TMC121
The focus of this course is on the identification of building blocks of self-development in the context of personal visions, mission, and personal capacity building. Major self-motivational blocks, the power and place of focus, the place of the human thought process and how to enhance thinking and reasoning for creativity
Prerequisite: TMC122
Jogging: This help in many ways, our focus here on the benefit of jogging is for physical fitness that reduced risk of Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the condition when the bones become increasingly porous and brittle. It can result to bone fractures and deformities.
Flexibility Exercise: Flexibility can be said to be the freedom and ease of motion performed within an individual normal anatomical range.
To improve one’s flexibility range at a joint or muscles persons should engage in exercises that involves, flexion, adduction, extension and circumduction at the various joints.
Athletics (Field Events): Institutional athletics programme represent a multi financial industry and are generally linked to school branding and reputation. Athletic programme drive enrolment and heightens institutional profile, and often resulting in financial windfall for those whom their students engaged in.

Java Basics, Basic Java Elements, Working with Java Data Types, Working with Java Operator, Working with the String Class, Working with the Random and Math Classes, Using Decision Statements. Using Looping Statements, Debugging and Exception Handling, Arrays and Array Lists, Classes and Constructors, Java Methods.
The aim of this course is to expose students to the meaning of philosophy and a brief survey of its branches. While discussing its major branches, emphasis will be on Logic. The topics to be taught in this respect will include Symbolic logic, Quantificational theory and Logical rules. Other sub- topics will include arguments and evidence, fallacies, statements and sentences, laws of thought, rules of inference and deduction and analogical reasoning. The course will also provide valuable insights into the origin and content of traditional logic.
