Welcome and introduction
Dear Edgend
Welcome to FAC3701 online!
This course has been designed with your participation in mind. The more you put into it, the more you
will get out.
In the course, we will guide you through all the learning units by making use of video presentations of
the relevant slides, notes and examples.
Please do not think that by passively watching the videos, you will pass. It is not that easy.
When the presenter instructs you to attempt an example, do it!
When the presenter is lecturing, make notes and annotations in your workbook for future
reference. Remember that you can pause the video whenever you want when you are making
notes.
If you have a question, ask! The Google Classroom that is used is interactive. There is a stream
where you can have discussions with fellow students or ask questions of your lecturer / teacher.
(Unfortunately, receiving assistance with your assignment is an offence that may result in
expulsion from UNISA. So, do not ask your lecturer / teacher or fellow students for help with
the compulsory assignment.)
From the Edge Team, we sincerely hope that you will find this course as rewarding as it is challenging.
Work hard! It has nothing to do with luck!
Best regards
Edge FAC3701 lecturers
