1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Welcome to the subject Religious Studies. We trust that you will find this academic discipline
both stimulating and personally enriching.
Tutorial matter
At the time of registration, you will receive an inventory letter that will tell you what you have
received in your study package and also show items that are still outstanding. Some of this
tutorial matter may not be available when you register. Tutorial matter that is not available
when you register will be posted to you as soon as possible, but is also available on myUnisa.
The Department Despatch should supply you with the following study material for this module:
• Tutorial letter 101 - General information and assignments
• Tutorial letter 102
• Tutorial letter 501
• Tutorial letter SRALLEN/301
Please note that your lecturers cannot help you with missing study material.
You can also access study guides and tutorial letters for all modules on myUnisa at
http://my.unisa.ac.za All tutorial material is loaded onto this website as soon as it leaves
the department – it will therefore be available here long before you can possibly receive
it by post. We suggest that you check the site on a regular basis.
Apart from the tutorials letter mentioned above, you will receive other tutorial letters during the
semester. These will be despatched to you as soon as they are available or needed (for
instance for feedback on assignments).
This tutorial letter deals with the work to be covered in the module EDT303Q. A tutorial letter is
our way of communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment. This Tutorial
Letter 101 contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and
assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when
working through the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination
and addressing questions to your lecturers.
In this tutorial letter you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as instructions
on the preparation and submission of the assignments. This tutorial letter also provides all the
information you need with regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and how
to obtain it. Please study this information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed
material as soon as possible. We have also included certain general and administrative
information about this module. Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully. Right from
the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive during
the semester immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and sometimes,
urgent information.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
