challenges you face in the module. Ensure that you visit the Moodle platform every 3

Please read through this tutorial letter and retain this and all the other tutorial letters that you
will receive. You must read through all the tutorial letters you receive during the year
immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and sometimes urgent
information. They are our way of communicating with you about teaching, learning and

Tutorial Letter 103 contains important information about the portfolios that you need to
complete for this module. We urge you to read through it carefully and to keep it at hand
when working through the study material, preparing the assessments and addressing
questions to your lecturers.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully. It contains the required activities that
you need to do with the help of your mentor at the school where you have been placed by the
Teaching Practice Office (TPO).
Ensure you contact the Teaching Practice Office in advance to confirm your placement
before you go to the school to complete the teaching practice. All communication of the
placement must be communicated via your myLife e-mail address.
We are aware that problems may occasionally disrupt your studies. Please contact your

Best wishes and enjoy your teaching experience!
