Dear Student
1 ADMISSION TO THE EXAMINATION
As indicated in Tutorial Letter 101/3/2018, there are two compulsory assignments for this
module. Submission of assignment 01 is a prerequisite to gain admission to the examination.
Although it is not required that you pass assignment 01, it will count 10% towards your final
mark for this module. Failure to submit assignment 02 will not influence your examination
admission (only the submission of assignment 01 will give you examination admission), but
assignment 02 also contributes 10% towards your final mark for this module. In Tutorial
Letter 101/3/2018, we also included a self-evaluation assignment, which should not have
been submitted. Below we provide commentary on all three assignments. The commentary on
the self-evaluation assignment allows you to evaluate your answers yourself.
