Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the revision of the geology curriculum at the University of Botswana and show how it has improved the overall curriculum. One of the important outcomes of the revision was to ensure that prerequisite courses were enforced and students took courses in the proper sequence. This was hitherto not possible as students intending to take geology registered in year II which meant that to complete their degree programme in four years they took Level 100 and 200 geology courses concurrently. This system had a deleterious effect in that students found the geology curriculum very heavy and difficult on account of lack of sufficient background preparation. We believe the revision has resulted in a programme that is very competitive in the region and provides adequate preparation to our students to undertake post-graduate training in overseas and regional universities.
