Abstract
This supplementary examination paper for DEV222, "Introduction to Development Studies," is a 3-hour assessment worth 100%. Students are required to answer any two essay questions, each carrying 50% of the total marks, with an emphasis on legible writing and clear articulation. The paper covers key topics in development studies, including urban and rural development, population dynamics, and informal settlements.
Question 1 prompts a discussion on differentiating between a town and a city, and how growing populations impact their development. Question 2 requires an analysis of three major Population theories and their implications for both developing and developed countries. Finally, Question 3 focuses on informal settlements, asking students to discuss their identification, the challenges and survival strategies employed within them, and potential mitigation measures for these challenges. The examination aims to assess students' comprehensive understanding of these critical development issues.
