Dear Student,
1. HOW TO APPROACH THE ASSIGNMENTS
This tutorial letter contains an exposition of the requirements for the assignments for
TMN3704. Before you start your assignments, make sure that you go through Tutorial Letter
101 for important information on teaching, learning, assessment and how to search for
information. When doing the assignments, also ensure that you understand what you have
been asked to do. Check the marks for your assignments and what percentage of the final
mark they constitute. This will help you decide how much time to spend on each.
Read the assignment questions or task slowly and carefully. As you do, ask yourself:
• What is the question about? What is the topic?
• What does the question mean?
• What do I have to do?
Avoid tedious explanations, repetitions and unnecessary information. However, support your
descriptions/explanations with relevant sources, writing the information in your own words. I
want to hear your voice/opinion/views. An assignment must be provided with adequate
headings and sub-headings, which must be numbered clearly and in a consistent manner.
Formulate your own point of departure and provide reasoned arguments to support and
qualify it. You must also ensure that you take care of the technical quality of the document
when writing the assignment. This includes using the required referencing style (preferably
APA), and adding a list of references.
NB:
✓ Citations – appear within the body of your essay.
✓ References – appear at the end of your essay, in a special format
Please note that Assessment file/written assignments/assignment answers mean one and
the same thing in the context of this module.
