, Dear Student,
This tutorial letter is extremely important. Please read it carefully before you commence with
your studies.
We wish to highlight the following most important aspects:
• There are two compulsory assignments for this module.
Assignment 01 is a multiple choice question assignment (refer to page 21 for the first
semester and page 32 for the second semester). This assignment is compulsory and
contributes 50% towards your year mark. If you do not submit it, you will not gain
examination admission.
Assignment 02 is a multiple choice question assignment (refer to page 26 for the first
semester and page 37 for the second semester). This assignment is compulsory and
contributes 50% towards your year mark.
• Assignment 02 will not give you examination admission. It is therefore crucial for you
to hand in Assignment 01 on time to ensure that you will be able to write the
examination.
• You can submit Assignment 01 and Assignment 02 via myUnisa. Alternatively, you
can answer these assignments on a mark-reading sheet. (Please note that each of these
assignments has a different unique number.)
