You must submit at least one of the three compulsory assignments to obtain admission to the examination. NOTE: Failure to submit at least one assignment will result in you not being admitted to the examination. 7.1.1 Year mark The marks earned for your assignments will contribute towards your year mark as follows: Assignment number Maximum contribution towards year mark Assignment 01 8% Assignment 02 80% Assignment 03 12% Year mark 100% For example: If you get a 100% for Assignment 01; 78% for Assignment 02; and 80% for Assignment 03, your year mark will be 80% [(100% x 8%) + (78% x 80%) + (80% x 12%) = 80%]. 7.1.2 Final mark The mark you earn in the examination will count 75% and your year mark will count a maximum of 25% towards your final mark. Year mark: 25% Examination mark: 75% Final mark: 100% For example, if you attain 60% for the examination and have 80% for your year mark (Assignments 01, 02 and 03), your final mark will be 65% [(60% x 75%) + (80% x 25%) = 65%]. You will undoubtedly realise the importance of commencing your study programme timeously so that you can earn a good year mark. A subminimum of 40% in the examination is required. Your year mark will not count if you did not obtain the subminimum of 40% in the examination. For example, if you earn 36% for the examination and have 80% for your year mark (Assignments 01, 02 and 03), your final mark will be 36%. NOTE: You need a final mark of 50% to pass AIN2601. AIN2601/101/3/2020 18 7.2 Assignment numbers 7.2.1 General assignment numbers Assignments are numbered consecutively per module, starting from 01. The results of Assignment 01, Assignment 02 and Assignment 03 are important, because they count towards your year mark. We, therefore, strongly advise you to submit accurate and complete assignments on time. 7.2.2 Unique assignment numbers and due dates Your answers in respect of the assignments should be addressed to the Registrar (not to the lecturer concerned) and should reach the university not later than the dates specified below. Assignment number Submission due date Assignment type Unique number Addendum Contribution to year mark First semester 01 02 March 2020 Compulsory A 8% 02 27 March 2020 Compulsory B 80% 03 09 April 2020 Compulsory C 12% Second semester 01 14 August 2020 Compulsory D 8% 02 11 September 2020 Compulsory E 80% 03 25 September 2020 Compulsory F 12% Please clearly indicate the relevant unique number for all your assignments. Assignments submitted after the due date will not be marked. If you submit your assignment late, you will receive 0% for the assignment. Make sure you submit your assignments on time. AIN2601/101/3/2020 19 7.3 Submission of assignments For detailed information and requirements as far as assignments are concerned, see myStudies@Unisa, which you received with your tutorial matter. 7.3.1 General a) Please diarise the due dates on which you are to submit your answers in respect of the various assignments so that they reach the university on or before the due date. Please allow adequate time for postal delays. b) PLEASE NOTE: Any assignment received after the due date will not be marked and you will receive 0% for the assignment. c) Please ensure that your name, address (including your correct postal code), student number, module code and assignment number appear on the first page of your answer and make sure that they are correct. Failure to comply with this requirement may cause a considerable delay in the marking of your assignment. d) The answers to assignment questions should be arranged numerically, the question number indicated on the page, and all pages should be numbered sequentially. Please ensure that the pages of your answer book have been stapled together in a proper manner. Do not attach answers to different assignments to one another. Remember that your assignment should have precisely the same number as the one specified in the relevant tutorial letter (01, 02 or 03 as the case might be). e) Your answers in respect of the various questions in any one assignment should under no circumstances be despatched to the university in separate envelopes or partly online and partly via post. Each assignment is a unit and should be submitted as such. It is not possible to combine the marks of the separate parts later on and, unfortunately, only the marks of one of these parts will then be awarded for the assignment. f) Ensure that you receive confirmation that your assignment was successfully submitted (online) or received by Unisa (post). g) All assignment mark queries must reach the lecturers before the module examination date. No assignment mark queries, including the adjustment of assignment marks, will be considered after the module examination date.
