Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
This tutorial letter contains important information regarding the PDP4802 assignments. Consider it as
a guide to help you navigate your studies. You should also visit the website for PDP4802 on myUnisa
frequently. The website for your module is PDP4802-24-Y.
1.1 Off to a good start
Kindly note that you cannot afford to fall behind on the assignment submissions. Do not wait for the
return of a previous assignment prior to submitting the next assignment. Second submissions of
assignments are not allowed.
On a postgraduate level, your assignments and portfolio are marked according to the National
Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 8 following painstakingly pre-prepared memorandums that are
not available online and the content of which will be reflected only in extensive comments pertaining to
your individual assignments. General feedback regarding assignments may be provided from time to
time under Announcements.
1.2 Unisa’s policy on copyright infringement and plagiarism
Since you have to declare that you are familiar with and understand the Unisa policy on copyright
infringement and plagiarism, open the three-page document,Policy for copyright infringement and
plagiarism, or download it from:
https://www.unisa.ac.za/static/corporate_web/Content/Apply%20for%20admission/Documents/Policy_
copyright_infringement_plagiarism_16November2005.pdf
Copies of assignments, similar assignments or assignments that otherwise show evidence of copying,
will get a mark of zero upon detection. Therefore, you have to take great care when sharing your work
with others as you run a risk of losing 12% of your final examination mark, as indicated in table 2.1.
2 UNIQUE ASSIGNMENT OR PORTFOLIO NUMBERS AND
SUBMISSION DATES
All the assignments and the portfolio must be submitted online in .pdf format. It is best practice
to submit a few days in advance as system problems may occur on Unisa’s side or yours. Always
follow the instructions provided meticulously and add the unique numbers, otherwise, the Unisa
system cannot allocate your submission to the relevant lecturer. Needless to say, you should double-
check your submission to avoid the disappointment of incorrect submissions.
