Dear Student,
It has come to our attention that you need PYC2606 to complete your qualification. Unisa is providing
a mechanism, known as an FI concession, whereby students who have one or two modules outstanding
to complete a qualification can be assisted to complete the qualification. We therefore offer you a
chance to complete this module by allowing you to submit a portfolio. For the portfolio you are
required to provide evidence that you understand and can apply the steps to develop and evaluate a
questionnaire. The portfolio consists of questions on questionnaire development and evaluation. The
portfolio will be evaluated as a summative assessment at second-year level. The marking rubric covers
theoretical content, application and presentation.
Make sure to read the extract from the Unisa rules for students in the block below.
20.7 Students who require 24 credits to complete the qualification and have attained 30% in the module
may qualify for assistance in terms of the Policy to assist students who have one or two modules
outstanding to complete a qualification at Unisa (commonly called FI concessions). Modules offered
for non-degree purposes in order to complete a qualification at another university are not considered for
FI concession purposes. The student must have written and failed the modules in the last examination
and the examinations must have been the first examination opportunity. Note that not all modules are
considered for FI concession purposes. Since the university grants the FI concession opportunity based
on the requirements met by the student, you are not able to apply to the university to be considered for
such an assessment opportunity. No student will be granted a third opportunity in respect of the FI
concession.
Students who have failed an FI concession assessment do not qualify for a supplementary examination
based on the outcome of the FI examination. The final mark for the FI concession may not exceed 50%.
This limitation applies only when alternative means of assessment (i.e outside of the formal
examination periods) are used. If a student is admitted to the next formal examination, the limit does
not apply. This provides students who prefer not to be limited to 50% with an alternative option (i.e
admission to the next formal assessment opportunity).
Note that you cannot obtain more than 50% for an FI concession. Therefore, if you have also been
granted a supplementary examination (to be written during the May/June examination period) you may
choose to rather write the supplementary examination if you do not want to be limited to a maximum of
50%.
