Dear Student
The aim of this tutorial letter is to orientate you to the examination by providing you with
information on the structure of the examination paper
essential examination techniques
an overview of the content covered by the assignments
This is the last tutorial letter for this semester. It contains guidelines that will help you to prepare for
the examination. You must use your prescribed study guide in preparation for the examination. If you
only use previous examination papers and/or attempt to pass with general knowledge, you can be
assured that you will fail!
We would like to bring the following matters regarding the preparation for the examination and
assignments to your attention.
1 THE EXAMINATION
Demarcation or “scoping” for examinations and assessments
NB: In terms of a decision reached by the College, lecturers may not demarcate or
“scope” specific work for examination purposes and examination questions should
be based on all the work covering the notional hours of modules. Lecturers should
encourage students to learn everything. In cases where competencies or skills are
assessed differently during the tuition period, the various methods of assessment
will be spelled out clearly by the lecturer in Tutorial Letter 201.
According to Assessment Procedure Manual 2013, paragraph 4.5.2(e), the
examination memoranda (guidelines, rubrics, and so on) shall not be made
available to students.
The examination will be based on all aspects of the curriculum and will be covered by short questions,
paragraph as well as essay questions (such as in Assignments 01 and 02).
