We will do our best to make your study of this module successful. You will be well on your way to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the assignments properly. You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment. This tutorial letter contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your lecturers. Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with this tutorial letter as it gives you an idea of generally important information when studying at a distance and within a particular College. In this tutorial letter, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as instructions on the preparation and submission of the assignments. It also provides all the information you need with regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and how to obtain them. Please study this information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible. Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes, urgent information. You will also find useful information of a general nature in Tutorial Letter 301 and in the booklet mySTUDIES@Unisa. Having read through these, you should be well prepared to begin. We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best! 2.

    7. ASSESSMENT 7.1 Assignments and learning Assignments are seen as part of the learning process for this module. As you do the assignment, study the reading text, consult other resources, discuss the work with fellow students or tutors or do research, you are actively engaged in learning. Looking at the assessment criteria given for each assignment will help you to understand what is required of you more clearly. 7.2 General remarks Enquiries about assignments (e.g. whether or not the university has received your assignment or the date on which an assignment was returned to you) must be directed to the assignments department. This department can be reached by sending an SMS to 43584 or by e-mail at [email protected]. You might also find information on myUNISA. To go to the myUnisa website, start at the main Unisa website, http://www.unisa.ac.za, and then click on the login to myUnisa link under the myUnisa heading on the screen. This should take you to the myUnisa website. You can also go there directly by typing http://my.unisa.ac.za. Assignments should be addressed to: The Registrar (Assignments)

    PO Box 392 UNISA 0003 You may submit written assignments and assignments done on mark-reading sheets either by post or electronically via myUNISA. Assignments may not be submitted by fax or email. For detailed information and requirements as far as assignments are concerned, see the brochure mySTUDIES@Unisa, which you received with your study material. To submit an assignment through myUNISA:

    Go to myUnisa.

    Log in with your student number and password.

    Select the module.

    Click on assignments in the menu on the left.

    Click on the assignment number you want to submit.

    Follow the instructions on the screen. 7.3 Feedback on assignments You will receive the correct answers automatically for multiple-choice questions. Feedback on compulsory assignments will be sent to all students registered for this module in a follow-up tutorial letter, and not only to those students who submitted the assignments. The tutorial letter number will be 201, 202, etc. As soon as you have received the feedback, please work through it. The assignments and the feedback on these assignments constitute an important part of your learning and should help you to be better prepared for the next assignment and the examination. 7.4 Study process You may encounter fewer problems when you work as follows: Paragraph 8 of this tutorial letter sets out the suggested study programme for semester 1 and 2. First semester students: refer to paragraph 8.1 and second semester students: refer to paragraph 8.2.

    Study the relevant study units of the Study Guide for assignment 01. Do all the exercises in the study guide and make sure that you understand the contents of the study material.

    Do assignment 01 and send it to UNISA for marking. Remember, the submission of assignment 01 is compulsory for examination admission and contributes to your year mark (refer to paragraph 6).

    Study the relevant study units of the Study Guide for assignment 02 and do the assignment. Remember, the submission of assignment 02 is compulsory and contributes to your year mark (refer to paragraph 6).

    After completing an assignment, carry on with the study programme. Do not wait for the suggested solution or for the return of the marked assignment.

    Students often fail to plan their studies properly in order to achieve specific study goals at predetermined dates. This leads to a haphazard approach to studying and the use of ineffective study techniques. The study programme for each semester is herein provided to assist you in this regard. The programme indicates the dates during which certain sections of the study material should be studied, as well as the dates by which the compulsory assignments should be completed. The study programme is based on the following assumptions:

  • 10

    That study will commence on either 13 January 2014 for the first semester or 30 June 2014 for the second semester and that the course should be completed leaving sufficient time for revision.

    That you should study at least 6 hours per week. We are of the opinion that this is within your reach.

    We are convinced that, if you adhere to the suggested programme, you should be able to master the subject. It is very important that the subject matter covered in the study units should be mastered and not just be skimmed. If you happen to register late or fall behind with this programme, extra effort on your part will be necessary. Appendix A and B contains the compulsory assignment 01 and 02 for students who are registered for FAC1601 in the first semester. Appendix C and D contains the compulsory assignment 01 and 02 for students who are registered for FAC1601 in the second semester. Please note that these assignments are not the same. You must ensure that you submit the assignments which pertain to the semester that you are registered in for FAC1601.

    IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR FAC1601 IN THE SECOND SEMESTER YOU CANNOT SUBMIT ANY ASSIGNMENTS DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER. ASSIGNMENTS INCORRECTLY SUBMITTED WILL RETURNED UNMARKED

    7.5 Important aspects regarding assignments There are 4 assignments for this module:

    Assignment 01 is a multiple choice assignment that is compulsory and contributes 50% towards your year mark. It is important to note that if you do not submit this assignment you will not be admitted to the examination;

    Assignment 02 is a multiple choice assignment that is also compulsory, and contributes 50% towards your year mark;

    Assignments 03 and 04 are long question assignments. These assignments must NOT be submitted to UNISA for marking but forms an important part of your study material and exam questions will definitely be set on these sections.

    Please keep copies of assignments submitted through myUnisa as this is proof that you submitted the assignment. Assignments constitute an integral part of the tutorial matter. Study material on which assignments are based is given in Annexure A (for students registered for the first semester) or Annexure C (for students registered for the second semester). Assignments and tutorial letters must also be studied for examination purposes. 7.6 Finality of the due dates The receipt of assignments after the due date disrupts our marking programme and the uncontrolled submission of assignments creates administrative problems. No extension will be granted for the submission of assignments and regrettably requests for the extension of the due date will NOT be considered. 7.7 Assessment of assignments Although students may work together when preparing assignments, each student must submit his or her own individual assignment. It is unacceptable for students to discuss the answers on myUnisa. That is copying (a form of plagiarism) and you may be penalised or subjected to disciplinary proceedings by the university. 8. EXAMINATIONS For general information and requirements as far as assignments are concerned, see the brochure mySTUDIES@Unisa, which you received with your study material. 8.1 Examination admission For students to fully benefit from our formative tuition and assessment, the Management of the university has taken a decision to introduce two compulsory assignments in all modules to be submitted by set due dates. Submission of the first compulsory assignment by its due date will give a student admission to the examination in the particular module and the mark obtained for that assignment will contribute towards the final mark for that module. The second assignment is also compulsory and contributes equally to the final mark. Please ensure that the compulsory assignments reaches the University before the due date as late submission of assignment 01 will result in you not being admitted to the examination.

  • 12

    8.2 Year-mark and final examination mark The year-mark contribution towards the final examination mark is calculated as follows: 50% of the mark obtained for assignment 01 Plus 50% of the mark obtained for assignment 02 If you only submit assignment 01, your year mark will be 50% of the mark obtained for this assignment. This will then be your year mark out of a possible 100%. If, for example, you obtain 80% for assignment 01 and 0% for assignment 02, your year mark will be 40%. According to university policy you require a sub-minimum of 40% in the examination before your year mark is taken into consideration. In other words, if you do not obtain at least 40% in the examination, you will automatically fail, and your final mark will be the mark you obtained in the examination. A final mark of 50% is required to pass this module. This final mark is calculated as follows: (10% x of the year mark) + (90% x mark obtained in the examination) Example:

    A B C D

    Average of marks for assignment

    1 & 2 (Year mark)

    Year mark contribution to

    final mark at 10%

    Exam mark contribution

    required to pass (50% minus year mark

    contribution)

    Minimum exam mark required to

    pass

    (C 0,9)

    Student 1 100% 10% 40% 45%

    Student 2 70% 7% 43% 48%

    Student 3 50% 5% 45% 50%

    Student 4 30% 3% 47% 52%

    Student 5 20% 2% 48% 53%

    Student 6 10% 1% 49% 54%

    Student 7 0% 0% 50% 56%

    If you obtain between 40% and 49% as a final mark, you will be allowed to write a supplementary examination. The supplementary examination will be written at the end of the next semester. This means that if you qualify for a supplementary examination in May/June, you will write the FAC1601 paper in October/November. Similarly, students who qualify for a supplementary examination in October/November will write this paper in May/June of the following year. A student may, however, write only one supplementary examination per enrolment. If, for any reason, you transfer your exam period for FAC1601 to a following semester, you need to submit Assignment 01 and 02 before the due date in the semester for which you originally registered for the course. The year mark you obtain will then be carried forward to the next semester because you will not be allowed to submit any assignments in the semester to which you have changed. By applying to have your semester changed to a following semester, in effect, you are applying for an aegrotat examination. However, you still need a year mark that will be taken into account as explained above hence the need to submit the compulsory assignments in the semester for which you originally registered.

  • FAC1601/101

    8.3 Examination period This module is offered in a semester period of 15 weeks. This means that if you are registered for the first semester, you will write the examination in May/June 2014 and the supplementary examination will be written in October/November 2014. If you are registered for the second semester, you will write the examination in October/November 2014 and the supplementary examination will be written in May/June 2015. During the semester, the Examination Section will provide you with information regarding the examination in general, examination venues, examination dates and examination times. This information can also be obtained from the myUnisa site. Click on Examinations when you are logged into the site. 8.4 Examination paper At the end of the semester you will be required to write a two hour examination paper. No theoretical or multiple choice questions will be asked. You will only be required to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in the questions asked. Exam questions are set on the content of the whole course not only on assignments 1 and 2. You are advised to consult the examination time-table timeously in order to plan your revision programme accordingly. Please start early to avoid cramming at the last moment. 8.5 Previous examination papers There will be no previous years examination papers to be made available to students as part of tutorial or study material. However, additional questions will be provided in a form of a tutorial letter. These questions will be of same standard with the examination questions. We advise you, however, not to focus only on these questions as your only source in your preparation for the examination as the content of examination paper changes from year to year. You may, however, accept that the type of questions that will be asked in the examination will be similar to those asked in the activities in your study guide and in the assignments. 8.6 Tutorial letter with information on the examination To help you in your preparation for the examination, you will receive a tutorial letter that will explain the format of the examination paper and set out what and how to study for examination purposes.
