100 Marks
Duration 4 Hours
First examiners: Prof J. Alexander, Ms N. Zindela, Dr L. Krüger Moderator:
Prof C. Chaka
Second Examiner: Prof C. Thurman
This paper consists of 8 pages.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The examination paper consists of TWO questions. You must answer BOTH questions.
Carefully follow the instructions given for each question. Answers that do not adhere to the
length requirements will be penalised.
You may use your study material to assist you, but you must cite these sources correctly.
We recommend that you spend 2-3 hours answering this question paper.
Note: You have 4 hours to download this paper and complete the questions. You then have
thirty minutes to upload your answers on the myExams platform. Check your timetable for
the official cut-off time.
IMPORTANT:
If you use additional sources in your examination answers, you must cite these correctly. If
you do not cite your sources – both in-text and in a bibliography – you will be guilty of
plagiarism, which constitutes cheating during an examination.
If you copy from another source, including text generated by
Artificial Intelligence, YOU WILL FAIL the module and you could
face disciplinary action and risk suspension from the university.
We will be using software to compare your answers (both typed and handwritten) to all the
information available on the web and to the work of other students, so it will not be possible
to hide plagiarism.
Please take note of The Invigilator App QR code and Examination Rules on the next
two pages.

Online examination rules
Students are expected to familiarise themselves with the online examination
rules before they commence with their examinations. Students are advised to
refer to their module arrangements for summative assessments that are not
scheduled on the official examination timetable.
Examination sessions commence at the time indicated on the final
examination timetable. You are required to adhere strictly to the specified
times.
Students are advised to complete the Course: Basic Skills for Online Exams
(unisa.ac.za) and complete the mock assessment Course: ADOVH001: Mock
Exams (unisa.ac.za).
For file upload/take-home examinations
1. Students must upload their answer scripts in a single PDF file on the
official myExams platform (answer scripts must not be password
protected or uploaded as "read-only" files). The university only marks
one submission received from a student. Priority is granted to scripts
received via the myExams platform.
2. NO e-mailed scripts will be accepted.
3. Students are advised to preview submissions (answer scripts) to
ensure legibility and also to ensure that the correct answer script file
has been uploaded.
4. Students are permitted to resubmit their answer scripts, but only within
the stipulated submission duration, should they regard the initial
submission to be unsatisfactory. Resubmissions after an examination's
closing time are not permitted.
, lOMoARcPSD|51776212
5. Scripts with an incorrect file format will not be considered for marking.
6. Wrong answer scripts that are uploaded, that is, any file other than the
exam answer script (e.g. uploading the exam question paper instead of
the exam answer script) will not be marked and a 0% will be awarded.
No opportunity will be granted for resubmission.
7. Unisa relies on an automated synchronisation system that elects
scripts to be marked in accordance with its prioritisation rules. Unisa
awards 0% to incorrect submissions made on the official platform
irrespective of the correct submissions made on alternative platforms.
8. A mark awarded for an incomplete submission will be the student’s
final mark. No opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
9. A mark awarded for an illegible scanned submission will be the
student’s final mark. No opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
10. Only the last answer file uploaded on the myExams within the
stipulated submission duration period will be marked.
11. Submissions will only be accepted from registered student accounts.
12. Students who have not utilised the prescribed invigilation or proctoring
tools will be deemed to have transgressed Unisa’s examination rules
and will have their marks withheld.
13. Students who have more than one Unisa student number should
ensure that the relevant student number/s is/are registered on the
Invigilator App for the module/s requiring invigilation through Invigilator
App before their examination session.
14. Assessments invigilated by the Invigilator App require a student to
activate the QR code. The QR code is available for activation 15
minutes before the start time of the examination and 30 minutes after
the official start time of the examination. Students who fail to activate
the QR code within the available 45 minutes will be deemed not to
have utilised the invigilation or proctoring tools and will have their final
marks withheld.
15. Any student found to have been outside the Invigilator App (by exiting
or minimising the Invigilator App) for a total of 10 minutes during their
closed-book examination session will be considered to have violated
Unisa's examination rules and their marks will be withheld. Students
writing closed-book examinations should activate flight mode on their
phones or switch off their network/Wi-Fi, after scanning the QR code
on the invigilator App, to prevent background applications overriding
the running of the Invigilator App during their examination session. The
network/Wi-Fi should be switched back on to enable uploading of the
answer script on myExams after completing the examination.
16. For examinations which use the IRIS invigilation system, IRIS must be
recording throughout the duration of the examination until the
submission of the examination script.
17. Students are advised to complete writing at the scheduled examination
end time. Students have 10 minutes after their scheduled examination
end time to upload their scripts on the Invigilator App. Failure to upload
within the stipulated 10 minutes will result in the Invigilator App being
non-responsive. In such cases, students are advised to stop
attempting to upload their answer scripts on the Invigilator App and
immediately submit their answer script via the myExams platforms.
