This module of fundamental physics explores almost all branches of basic Physics starting with Classical mechanics where students will learn the motion of bodies, first without considering the causes of motion , secondary the exploration of causes of motion and the related Newton's laws of motion and their applications. Later, students will learn the concepts of work and energy, rotational motion, elements of fluid mechanics and concepts of heat and calorimetry. In second part of this module, students will learn the behaviors of electric charges either statically or dynamically under electrostatics and electrokinetics, respectively. After that, students will be informed about magnetism and magnetic induction, which will explore in details the concepts of alternating current circuits. In part three of this same module, students will explore the particle nature of light under geometric optics, where students will learn both reflection and refraction of light in details.

This course is an introduction to the theory, methods and practice of the taxonomy and classification of flowering plants, focusing on the plants found in Rwanda. Following the introduction to plant vegetative and floral structures, Different groups (clades) well presented in Rwanda will be studied in detail. Classification, evolutionary history, botanical nomenclature, collecting and preserving plants, and traditional uses of plants by Indigenous peoples are discussed. This year (2021), because of no access to the herbarium plant specimens and our frozen specimens, We will also survey important tropical plant families and their typical species.
