Ex: Earlier in this course we defined a compound subject as consisting, at the level of summarization, of a basic subject and two or more of its isolates.

Ex: During the early 1970s European studies became a fashionable growth area boosted by the trend towards inter-disciplinarity in taught courses.

Ex: General lectures to a whole year, or even several courses, are supplemented with more specialised tutorials or practicals, frequently in small groups.

Ex: This paper discusses the library education programme in the 1st library school in Nigeria to offer the course unit system as operated in the USA.
