Academic dishonesty and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Plagiarism by a student is considered serious misconduct, which could result in sanctions such as failing the assignment or module or being barred from the institution following disciplinary action against you. Refer to Unisa’s policy on plagiarism. • Note: During the marking process, the markers provide BRIEF commentary where necessary, BUT MORE DETAILED commentary is provided in Tutorial Letter 202 which will be available on myUnisa a week or two after the assignment 2 due date. • We use a marking guide to mark your assignment and portfolio. You can access this on MyUnisa once the marking is complete. The marking guide will guide you on where there is most room for improvement for purposes of your portfolio exam. • Please consult the PowerPoint presentation under additional resources for some handy tips on editing and getting the document into the correct format. 6 Preparing for the draft research proposal (assignment 02) There are several documents to consult to prepare your proposal, including your study guide and tutorial letters 301 and 302. We have compiled a PowerPoint presentation that consolidates all the requirements. Please visit the additional resources folder on myUnisa for a PowerPoint presentation that explains what is required of you under each prescribed heading in the proposal. You will also find a downloadable cover page there. 12 Just a reminder that tutorial letter 302 which sets out the prescribed referencing style replaces section C of the study guide. Note that you must follow the instructions in the PowerPoint presentation regarding the projected time frame, as the information in the study guide is outdated. 7 Important information regarding the draft research proposal (assignment 02) Assignment 2 (your draft research proposal) contributes 75% towards your semester mark, so make sure to put in much effort! Your semester mark will contribute to your final mark even if it is lower than your portfolio mark. Note that your draft research proposal must already contain content, it is not just an empty shell with headings. You must have already done some research and include information from the sources you consulted in your draft proposal. This also means that your proposal should have many footnotes. Please consult tutorial letter 302 (available on myUnisa) for details about the referencing style. On the third-year LL.B level, you must work a bit more independently, so you have to self-correct where possible. Note that the feedback from the marker on the draft research proposal will be brief. S/he will not point out every mistake that you have made. If you see you scored low on a particular aspect in the rubric, you must revisit that part of the material and see how you can improve. Note that some markers will make red markings, and others will make comments on the marking guide so please first look at the marking guide for comments before you conclude that your assignment was not marked. You decide to make this your research topic for your post-graduate studies. You are now tasked with compiling a draft research proposal on the role of ADR in South Africa. You can choose to focus on a particular type of ADR or discuss the principles of ADR in general. Consult case law, legislation, journal articles, books and law reform commission reports on the topic. Also consider judicial initiatives to promote ADR, such as the use of specialised courts (such as Commercial Courts) and court-annexed mediation, for example. This is an individual assignment to be completed by you without the help of other students. Academic dishonesty and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Plagiarism by a student is considered serious misconduct, which could result in sanctions such as failing the assignment or module or being barred from the institution following disciplinary action against you.
