ASSIGNMENT: 1 – Short paragraph questions
Unique number: 185115
Compulsory: Yes
Due date: 2 0 M a r c h 2 0 2 6
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to teach you how to
critically read an article, engage with it, and reflect on it in an
academic manner by responding to the assigned questions in short,
well-structured paragraphs of 150 to 200 words. In addition, the
assignment is designed to assess your ability to think critically,
analyse content, and express your ideas clearly in writing. When
marking the assignment, we will penalise poor language expression.
Examples of poor language expression include errors in sentence
structure, incomprehensible and barely literate vocabulary, spelling,
punctuation, and so on.
Instruction: Read the text below and answer the following questions
in short and coherent paragraphs. Your answers should be written in
full/complete sentences. Do not use bullet points. Avoid quoting
directly from the text unless instructed otherwise. You should
paraphrase ideas in your own words to demonstrate understanding.
Furthermore, your writing should show evidence of personal
interpretation, not AI-generated general statements. It is important to
note that the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools to
generate responses is strictly prohibited. Any student found to have
used such tools will face penalties in accordance with the institution’s
academic integrity policy and will likely lead to their failing of the
assessment in question.

desperately pursue admission to a South African university each year,
