THE BACKGROUND OF JoKUCo
Introduction
The Josiah Kibira University College (JoKUCo) of Tumaini University
Makumira is located in Bukoba Rural District 8 km North of Bukoba Mu-
nicipality in the Kagera Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.
JoKUCo is a Christ-centred University College focusing all its pro-
grammes through the guidance of and obedience to the Word of God and
by conducting and promoting higher education, learning, research, through
scientific fact-finding and enquires, to all students and staff without dis-
crimination.
The Josiah Kibira University College of Tumaini University Makumira
was born out of a decision taken in August 2008 by the Synod of the
North-Western Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania
(ELCT) governed and administered in accordance with the provisions of
the constitution establishing it. The question that could be posed is why
should the University College be named after Josiah Kibira?
The late Rt. Rev. Dr. Josiah Kibira1, (1925-1988) was one of the great
teachers, educators, religious leaders and one of religious ecumenical per-
sonalities. He served as a teacher during the colonial times but under a
voluntary education agency, becoming also the first African deputy head-
master of a mission secondary school from 1955 to 1957; pastor (1960-64)
and eventually he was elected and consecrated as the first African Bishop
of the North-Western Diocese (1964-1985). He was elected to be the pres-
ident of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) as its sixth president – first
from the African continent – in the years 1977 to 1984. He made a remark-
able contribution to the diocesan spirit of offering social services as far as
educational, health and diaconal services are concerned. It is because of
his concern to the development of humankind mentally, spiritually and
materially that JoKUCo bears his name.
11 Josiah Kibira was a son of Isaiah Kibira, one of the first founders of the
Protestant Church in the Kagera Region (1890’s). This Protestant Church later
grew into a North-western Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanza-
nia.
XVII
JoKUCo has two faculties, Faculty of Science and Technology and Fac-
ulty of Arts and Social Sciences. Through these faculties, the University
College offers various academic programmes leading to the award of cer-
tificates, diplomas, undergraduate and postgraduate diplomas and degrees.
The University College degree and non-degree courses as listed in Chapter
1.1 Courses offered by JoKUCo.
The main goal of JoKUCo is to be a centre of excellence in providing
quality education, not only at university degree level as from 1st degree up
to PhD – level later or in research and consultancy activities only but also
through training in short and long-term courses and tailor made pro-
grammes, certificates and diplomas.
JoKUCo also aims at functioning in a sustainable manner both financially,
environmentally and in our relationship to the surrounding community.
XVIII
THE NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
On 25th November 2005, the Executive Council of the ELCT-NWD for-
mally declared that the University College that was to be opened in the Di-
ocese should be called “Josiah Kibira University College of Tumaini Uni-
versity” (JoKUCo)
The late Bishop Dr. Josiah Kibira
The late Bishop Dr. Josiah Kibira was elected and consecrated bishop in
1964 as the first African Bishop of the ELCT-NWD.

cluding eventual fines payable to Library, are mandatory payments unless
specifically stated in the policies that the fee, deposit, or other charge is
optional.

fees, deposits, and other charges can register and attend classes, sit for ex-
aminations, and graduate from the University.

continued from studies (including the sitting for final exams), regardless of
any agreement between the student and the sponsor.

6 REGULATIONS GOVERNING LEARNING AND TRAINING
6.1 Definition of Credit
6.1.1 Curricula Prepared According to the University Qualifica-
tions Framework Requirements
The Concept of Credit
Credit is a measurement unit for ‘notional’ or ‘average learning’ time
that represents the estimated time needed for a learner to achieve re-
quired specific learning outcomes. The notional learning time includes
all the activities which the learner is expected to undertake in order to
achieve the learning outcomes.
A credit in the University Qualifications Framework (UQF) equates to
learning outcomes achievable in 10 hours of learning time determined
on the basis of a learner with an average learning speed. That is, a
credit equals 10 notional hours. According to TCU instructions, the
“old” credits in an existing course will be multiplied by three to arrive
at the amount of “new” credits.
Learning Activities
These ten hours of work for one Credit may include a combination of
some or all of the following (or some other ones) learning activities:
12
- lectures
- seminars/tutorials
- assignments
- independent studies
- practical training
A Programme’s Credits
Credit accumulation for any Programme is the process of achieving credits
over time and over all courses and other duties to be completed in relation
to the planned programme of study.
Students workload in a course
Student’s workload in any course is the planned total of Contact hours
with the Instructor + the planned time for the assignments, independ-
ent work and eventual practical or other training. The total workload
in any programme is the sum of course-wise workloads.
In average, TCU has set the following target distribution for earning
the Credits(= of the student’s workload) of any programme (note: de-
pending on the nature of the programme, there may be major differ-
ences):
Programme % on
Lec-
tures
% on Sem-
inars and
Tutorials
% on
As-
sign-
ments
% on Inde-
pendent
Studies and
Research
% on
Prac-
tical
Bachelor 40 20 10 20 10
Diploma 60 10 10 10 10
n.a.
From Academic Year 2015-2016 onwards the UQF will be applied to all
programmes starting with the first year students.
6.1.2 Conventional Curricula
Each credit shall be equivalent to one contact hour per week or two practi-
cal/seminar/tutorial hours per week over a semester.
Thus, a course of three credits could have (e.g.) any of the following
Learning Modes (rounded up/down average) number lectures and other
learning activities):
13
Hours of
lectures
per week
Practical/ sem-
inar/tuto-
rial/lab hours
per week
Total

Contact and
Work-load Hrs
3 0 3 9 48
2 2 4 9 64
1 4 5 9 80
0 6 6 9 96
Each semester is 18 weeks long. Lectures/seminar/tutorials will last for 16
weeks and the last two weeks of each semester are reserved for university
examinations.
All studies initiated in Academic Year 2014-2015 or before follow the
conventional definition of Credit and continue using their respective
Prospectuses.

7.16 GRADING SYSTEM
7.16.1 Grading terminology
The following abbreviations are in use at JoKUCo:
SGPA Semester Grade Point Average is the average of the
weighted grade point results of all compulsory courses
taken during any one Semester of studies by the partic-
ular student in question.
AGPA Annual Grade Point Average is the average of the
weighted grade point results of all compulsory courses
33
taken during the any year of study by the particular stu-
dent in question.
FGPA Final Grade Point Average is the average of the
weighted grade point results of all compulsory courses
taken during the whole period of studies by the particu-
lar student in question.
7.16.2 Individual Course
Course Assessment shall consist of two parts: continuous assessment and
end of semester university examinations, both of which are compulsory
and the
Continuous Assessment (CA) will contribute 40 %. The content and
weights of different elements of Continuous Assessment will depend
on the courses offered in any particular programme.
End of semester University Examination (UE) will contribute the re-
maining 60 %.
In some programmes or courses, the weights between CA and UE may
differ. If so, it will be specifically mentioned in the programme or
course description.
Thus, unless decided otherwise by the Senate, each course shall be graded
out of a maximum of 100% as follows:
Grading Scores of Individual Courses / Certificate and Diploma
Course Examinations

Possible Compliment
80-100% 5 A Distinction
70-79% 4 B+ Merit

7.16.3 Calculation of GPA
The Semester, Annual and Final grade point averages (GPA) are calcu-
lated on basis of the Grade Points of all individual Course Grades of Com-
pulsory Courses following the procedure below:
The letter grades of individual compulsory courses will be assigned
points as follows:
A B+ B C D E
5 4 3 2 1 0
The Grade points of all compulsory courses of a candidate should be
appropriately weighted in terms of Credits:
To get the score for each course multiply the points, as in (a) by the
weights (Credits) as in (b).
The total score for the degree should be the total score for all counta-
ble courses taken by the candidate for the degree, computed as in (c).
35
The average score for the degree should be computed by dividing the
total score in (d) by the total weight (sum of Credits in Compulsory
Courses) obtained under (b):
The sum of weighted grade point results for all compulsory courses taken
during all the years of study
Total Number of Credits for all compulsory courses taken in the corre-
sponding period
Total point scores should be truncated at one decimal place.
This method is used for all GPA calculations, whether for a Semester
Grade Point Average or Annual Grade Point Average or for the Final
Grade Point Average.
The SGPA (as well as Annual and Final GPA where appropriate) will be
recalculated after the Supplementary Examinations.
7.16.4 Classification of Final Grade of a Degree
The Final Grade Point Average is the overall performance measure over
the duration of the studies for any student in question. Classification of the
degrees means a grading scheme or code used to differentiate between the
various attainments of degree holders and therefore a measure of academic
achievement. The table below applies to all degrees at different UQF lev-
els for Final Grade Classification.
In calculating the GPA for final degree awards, every institution should
use a five-point system in averaging the final grade. The five-point system
should be classified as follows-
Final Classification of Undergraduate Degree
Grade Grade Point Range Class
A (4.4 - 5.0) First Class
B+ (3.5 - 4.3) Second Class Upper
B (2.7 - 3.4) Second Class Lower
C (2.0 - 2.6) Pass
36
Final Classification of Diploma and Certificate Awards:
Grade Grade Point Range Possible Compliment
A (4.4 - 5.0) Distinction
B+ (3.5 - 4.3) Merit
B (2.7 - 3.4) Credit
C (2.0 - 2.6) Pass
7.16.5 Continuation and Discontinuation of Studies
A student passing in all prescribed first and second semester courses
shall proceed to the subsequent year of study or graduate.
A student who fails in less than 50% of the prescribed courses shall be
allowed to sit for supplementary examinations in the failed courses, to
be held, as scheduled, after the end of the Second Semester University
Examinations of that academic year.
A student who fails in 50%or more of the prescribed courses in either
semester shall be discontinued from studies in either semester.
A student who fails to attain an overall SGPA of 2.0 for either Semes-
ter 1 or Semester 2 shall be discontinued forthwith.
A student who scores an E grade in any course shall repeat that course
when next offered.
A student who scores an AGPA of 2.0 or higher but fails Supplemen-
tary Examinations will be allowed to carry over and proceed to the
next year of study. Such student will repeat failed courses during that
academic year and sit for the examinations when they are scheduled.
Repeating a course shall include repeating the entire coursework, even
continuous assessment.
A student passing Supplementary examinations will be awarded grade
C in each of those courses.

numerical part. These have the following basis:
Letter code of courses:
The first letter refers to JoKUCo. The second letter indicates the level of
the course:
Level of Programme = 2nd digit
JC** Certificate
JD** Diploma
JH** Higher Diploma
JB** First degree

Then, each subject has 001 – 099 individual course codes at its disposal.
The same code shall never be “re-used” with a different Course Name. If it
were to be done, SARIS would not be able to write out correct course
names on the transcripts.
Common Courses, Education and any other course which may be/has been
simultaneously or with same name and content taught both according to
the pre-UQF Credit system (where each course commonly had three or
two Credits as in UQF corresponding Credits are 6 and 9) are differenti-
ated from each other by the second number being 2 for courses within
UQF-system, e.g.:
JCCC 1001 is JBCC 1101
JBED 2104 is JBED 2104 in UQF-system etc.
The Community Outreach courses are coded as follows:
JBCC / JDCC / JCCC 3177 Community Outreach I
JBCC / JDCC 4178 Community Outreach II
JBCC / JDCC 5179 Community Outreach III
48
Coding of Practical Training:
The Teaching Practice and/or Field Attachment Practical Training periods
/ courses in all Faculties requiring such training are coded with same set of
numerical codes, where the two last numbers start with 7, e.g.:
JBED 2175 Vacation Teaching Practice I
JBED 4176 Vacation Teaching Practice II
The Course Letter Codes (above ED / Education) will vary according to
the subject in question.
NOTE, that Teaching Practice I / II and other Field Attachment Practical
Training are courses with Credits.
Coding of Research Methods and Research work and Report Writing:
The courses in research methods and writing geared directly towards pro-
ducing the required Research Paper in the third year of the first degree are
coded with same series of numerical codes in all Faculties and Pro-
grammes where the second but last number (8) indicates that it is question
of research issues), e.g.:
JB**4181 Research Methods
JB**6182 Research Project
The second number is "1" (instead of "0" where an identical course in
"pre-UQF" has 3 Credits and thus has in "post-UQF" 9 credits), as these
otherwise identical courses need to be identifiable separately.
The Course Letter Codes (**) will vary according to the subject in ques-
tion, e.g. JBEN, Research Methods (in English Language), as the actual
implementation of these courses may differ as between subjects and/or
programmes as described in the respective Curriculums.
10 COURSES REQUIRED FOR FIRST DEGREE

JBHI 5118: Political Economy of the USA 6 Credits
This course reviews the political and economic development of the USA
from ca. 1620 to the 1990s. The USA came into existence through rebellion
against the British Empire. It was not until the yoke of British colonialism
was shaken off that the foundations of American industrialization were laid.
The USA combined the asset of immense contiguous territory with the Brit-
ish asset of advanced political institutions. USA industrial development is
characterized by the rapid rise of monopoly capital, ethnicity rooted in slav-
ery and immigration and self-sufficiency in natural resources. After WWI
USA emerges as the dominant capitalist power. This course will highlight
these issues and processes by way of providing a coherent account of why
and how Europeans migrated to the Americas, how they treated the native
populations, how British colonial control over the present day USA came
about, why and how the country industrialised when she did, and how she
became a world power.

ence. The discussions in the course also include the social and political
forces mediating people to people and people to nature interactions, not least
important of these being ideology and myths. It demonstrates that these
forces both mediate people to environment and people and their respective
environments are mutually constitutive, and that environmental protection
is fundamentally a political issue. Course contents are organised around se-
lected themes/topics rather than in a chronological sequence of events.

The programme is designed to produce professionals for business and
other organisations, who will be capable of
organising, implementing and supervising an efficient and reliable
accounting system
using the data available from the accounting system and also fi-
nancial markets to provide decision making with relevant account-

order to be in position to set their professional expertise into the
wider context of the organisation they work with
Based on the abundant vacancies advertised and published both in the
leading newspapers, the professional and the business websites, it is obvi-
ous that graduates who complete Bachelor of Accounting and Finance pro-
gramme successfully, will have a high potential of employment in the pri-
vate and the public sectors.
JoKUCo competes with similar programmes offered elsewhere in Tanza-
nia and the region and its programme will be reviewed periodically ac-
cording to changing demands of time. Such reviews will have to be pre-
ceded by tracer and market studies.
During their studies, the BAF graduates will have a good opportunity to
establish connections, contacts and links with business firms, financial in-
stitutions, companies, local and international financial organisations, fac-
tories and the industries during their field attachment. These contacts will
also open avenues for employment.

isation for eleven weeks, to be supervised and also assessed by both
the host organisation and the JoKUCo.
The Field Attachment shall be assessed mainly by the host organisa-
tion (20%) and also by the JoKUCo (60%). Thus, total weight of these
reports shall be 80% out of the total grade of the course.
The students shall write and submit a Field Attachment Report to the

software to demonstrate skills.
JBCS 1102: Fundamentals of Computer Programming 9 Credits
Course Aim
Programming languages will introduce the student to some basic issues as-
sociated with program design and development. The focus of this course is
to establish an appreciation of the work being done by software. The pro-
gramming language is a programmer’s principal interface to the computer.
More than just knowing how to program in a single language, programmers
need to understand the different styles of programming promoted by differ-
ent languages. Understanding the variety of programming languages and
the design trade-offs between the different programming paradigms makes
it much easier to master new languages quickly.
This .area consists of those skills and concepts that are essential to program-
ming practice independent of the underlying paradigm. As a result, this area
includes units on fundamental programming concepts, basic data structures,
and algorithmic processes. These units, however, by no means cover the
full range of programming .that a computer science undergraduate must
know. Many of the other areas—most notably Programming Languages
(PL) and Software Engineering (SE)—also contain programming-related
units that are part of the undergraduate core. In most cases, these units could
equally well have been assigned to either Programming Fundamentals or
the more advanced area.

ing its design and implementation. The operating system provides an inter-
face between user programs and the bare hardware of the computer on
which they run. It manages computer resources such as memory, disks, net-
works, and processors. In doing so, the operating system allows these re-
sources to be shared by many different programs. It also protects individual
programs from one another. The course covers a historical perspective of
the evolution of operating systems, and the major components of most op-
erating systems. Particular emphasis will be given to three major OS sub-
systems: process management (processes, threads, CPU scheduling, syn-
chronization, and deadlock), memory management (segmentation, paging,
swapping), and file systems.

cepts. OOP has become a very important software development method-
ology due to its techniques that allows for code reuse, encapsulation, inher-
itance and documentation. In this course, students are taught concepts of
OOP theoretically and are taught how to write robust code by small exam-
ples and small to medium-sized programming exercises. The students learn
how to analyse problems and design software solutions using OOP tech-
niques and later implement these designs using Java or C++ code. The stu-
dents learn what single inheritance, polymorphism and dynamic binding
mean and how these techniques can be used to write stable, easily extend-
able and maintainable code. Through all this, Java is used as the example

software components, hence applications to model those requirements.
250
The course will also aims to teach students methodology, tools and tech-
niques for analysing, designing and implementing robust OO programs.
This will be assisted using a unified modelling language (UML) whose
notations will be used in analysis and design. UML is less ambiguous than
English, but is capable of dealing with requirements and high-level de-
signs without being cluttered by the fine detail of program code. Students
will be taught how to effectively use the UML notation to discuss/develop
designs and in documentation.
