Abstract
This supplementary examination paper for AGX 321, "Agricultural Extension and Human Development," is designed to assess students' comprehension of key concepts and principles within rural sociology, agricultural extension, and human development. The examination is three hours long and is worth a total of 100 marks. The paper consists of multiple-choice questions covering topics such as kinship systems (e.g., patrilineal, kinship definitions), farmer learning methods (e.g., Farmer-to-Farmer Learning), characteristics of social interaction in different areas, attitudes, leadership, social change (e.g., cultural, economic, political), barriers to change (e.g., ethnocentricity), and social stratification. Additionally, the paper includes comprehensive essay questions that require students to demonstrate a deeper understanding and critical analysis of topics such as the definition and importance of rural sociology, the implications of social structure for social change in agricultural communities, the significance of kinship structure for effective agricultural extension practice, and the importance of an agricultural extension professional's knowledge of various religions practiced by rural communities. The exam aims to evaluate both foundational knowledge and the ability to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios in agricultural extension and human development.
