How to Use This Module

This Module is divided into 7 separate study sessions. You will see that the study sessions all have a similar structure. Following a brief introduction, each study session has a set of learning outcomes.

Each session ends with a summary, which lists the key points that have been made, and the SAQs. Each SAQ tests one or more of the learning outcomes that were stated at the beginning of the session. When you have finished reading, you should work through the SAQs.

Important terms are highlighted in bold and defined in the text. You will find that the first learning outcome for all study sessions is to be able to understand and use these key terms. All the key terms from this Module are also defined in the accompanying Glossary.

Please also note that all years are according to the Gregorian rather than Ethiopian calendar, unless otherwise stated.
