1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
We are pleased to welcome you to this module (CMY3702) and hope that you will find it both
interesting and rewarding. We shall do our best to make your study of this module successful. You
will be well on your way to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the
assignments properly.
Study material for this module consists of the following:
One study guide
Tutorial letter 101 at registration and you will receive a number of tutorial letters during the
year
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
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 (101), you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as
instructions on the preparation and submission of the assignments.
Please read Tutorial Letter 301, which is a general tutorial letter that includes other important
information regarding your studies, and SCHJALL/301/4/2019 – the tutorial letter for all departments
in the School of Criminal Justice containing the standardised referencing style and notes on
plagiarism – in conjunction with Tutorial Letter 101 since both contain important general information
about distance learning in this College.
In your study guide you will find a number of activities with each study unit. You will also find
feedback or answers to all activities at the back of the study guide. The activities form an extremely
important part of the module. In the activities you must prove your ability to deal with the subject
matter. Thus, it is very important to do these activities as you work through each study unit and
assess your answers by using the feedback.
Please do not submit these activities to us for marking. If you have any difficulties with any of
the activities, please contact us.
At the beginning of the study guide you will find detailed instructions on how to use the study guide.
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.
Please note that students must visit the myUnisa website for CMY3702 on a regular basis to receive
the latest announcements. The postal service has unfortunately become notoriously unreliable and it
can therefore occur that a student's hard copy tutorial letter never reaches its destination. All
information relevant to the module is, however, placed on the myUnisa website and students should
therefore never be in a position where they are not aware of any announcements.
