One very interesting set of theorems about representation of rings over skew fields is Schofield's theory, characterizing homomorphisms from an arbitrary K algebra A to a simple artinian ring, in terms of rank functions on the projective modules of A. The proof is based on the fact that the ring A U K Mn (K) has a rank function taking values in Z/n. But the coproduct of rings amalgamating a semisimple artinian subring has a rather complicated structure, which is utilized in Schofield's proof. In this paper we want to introduce a simpler way of proving parts of Schofield's theorems, based on a careful analysis of modules over the ring
