Duration: 4 Hours
First examiner : Mr IP Dube
Second examiner : Prof P Hlongwane
This examination question paper consists of four (4) pages.
Rough work will not be marked.
Instructions:
You are expected, in this online examination, to evaluate,
critically analyse and apply the information in your study
material. You therefore need to deliver well-structured and
wellpresented arguments and solutions. Be wary of making
statements without substantiating and motivating them. It
is essential to provide practical examples of the application
of theory in the public sector. Please note that you are not
allowed to copy content from sources verbatim as this
would constitute plagiarism, which is a disciplinary
offense. You therefore have to re-write the content in your
own words. You may use extra information sources. Note
that Wikipedia, Facebook and YouTube are not academic
sources.
,You must not communicate with fellow students during
the examination. No group work will be accepted, and
cases of misconduct will be referred to the relevant
Academic Integrity Sub-committee for investigation. Your
marks will be affected negatively should plagiarism be
detected, or should you use non-academic sources.
Your submitted examination answer will be marked by
assessing the clarity of thought, use of content to support
arguments and ability to clearly explain how practical
examples relate to the examination question.
NOTE: At least 30% of the marks are allocated to the
application of the theory.
Please make sure that your grammar, expression and
general use of the English language are correct. Remember
that poor grammar and presentation may negatively affect
the way your work is perceived by the assessor.
Please submit your examination answer on the
myExams platform.
