, 2 FEEDBACK ON ASSIGNMENT 01
2.1 General comments
IF YOU SUBMITTED THIS COMPULSORY ASSIGNMENT, YOU QUALIFY FOR
EXAMINATION ADMISSION.
Assignment 01 for Semester 1 was due on 23 March 2020.
The unique assignment number that you had to use when submitting this assignment was
849859.
The total maximum marks for this assignment was 100. Each paragraph-type or essay-type
question had a different mark allocation based on the information required. This assignment
contributes 20% to your final mark, while Assignment 02 contributes 10%, which means that
that your semester mark contributes 30% to your final module mark. The remaining 70% will be
derived from the final examination, which is scheduled for May/June 2020.
We will now look at the answers to and other guidelines on the questions that were asked in
Assignment 01. Please compare these with the answers that you submitted in your assignment.
If you did not hand in your assignment, you can still look at the feedback given in order to
enhance your understanding of the content of this module.
We have worked hard to provide you with many exciting resources in different formats, to
facilitate your learning. Although we have provided many resources for you, the video lessons,
particularly, provided a great starting point to and synopsis of all the most important materials. If
you looked at all the resources and interacted with these instructional materials, you would have
done well in your assignment. Nonetheless, the focus of all your instructional materials is to
provide you with the skills and knowledge that you can apply in your working and living
contexts. We do hope that you have gained some valuable skills, values, and knowledge from
this course.
When you receive your marked Assignment 01, please take special note of the personalised
feedback given by the marker. This feedback, together with your understanding of how to
approach similar paragraph-type or essay-type questions, will help you tremendously in the
examination.
If you did not submit Assignment 01, you will NOT be allowed to write the examination.
