1. INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
This tutorial letter contains feedback on the assignments and information on the format
of the examination. The tutorial letter also contains some tips on how to prepare for the
examination.
Please note that the assignment feedback provides only a suggested framework for answers.
Your insight into, and interpretation of, the study material is the key to obtaining good marks
for an assignment answer.
Some of you did well in Assignment 01. Others found it difficult to integrate the various parts
of the study material and apply this information. When you answer assignments for IOP3705,
it is important that you use the prescribed material. No marks are given for facts that are
correct, but unrelated to a particular question – therefore it is important to read the questions
carefully and answer what is asked.
It is always good to structure your answers to essay questions by using:
a short introduction and conclusion
paragraphs
headings and subheadings
numbered points/answers/headings/subheadings where possible
We received some queries about the length of an answer. The length of an answer will depend
on the type of question. A very general guideline would be that you need to give a fact for every
mark allocated:
In the case of “name-only” questions, you only have to name and number the answers
or statements.
5-mark questions can be answered in half a page to one page.
10-mark questions can be answered in one-and-a-half to two pages.
The answers to 15-mark questions should be no longer than three pages.
If you send in a handwritten assignment, please always remember to write legibly. This is also
important for the examination, as we cannot give marks if we cannot read what you have
written.
We invite you to contact us at any time, in writing (e-mail) or by telephone, to discuss any
problems you may encounter in your studies or in your preparation for the examination. We
hope that you will enjoy this subject and use it to your own benefit in your work and personal
life.
We would like to wish you the best in your preparation for the examination.
