Dear Student
We are pleased to welcome you to this module and hope that you will find it both
interesting and rewarding. You will be well on your way to success if you start studying
early in the semester. Take time to do the assignments properly. These include two
assignments which must be submitted.
The Department of Despatch should supply you with the following study material for this
module:
• A Study Guide
• Tutorial Letters 101 and 301
• Additional tutorial letters
IMPORTANT: This is Tutorial Letter 101 which you should have received upon
registration. Please read this Tutorial Letter as soon as possible and before you
start working on this module.
Note: Some of this tutorial matter may not be available when you register. Tutorial matter
that is not available when you register will be posted to you as soon as possible, but is
also available on myUnisa.
Tutorial Letter 101: This tutorial letter contains important information about
administrative arrangements as well as the assignments for this module. We urge you
to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study material,
completing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to
your lecturers.
Tutorial Letter 301: Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with Tutorial Letter
101 as it provides you with important general information on studying at UNISA and,
specifically, within the College of Law.
Additional tutorial letters that you may expect later in the semester will, for example,
include feedback on the assignments. 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. Also take note that the
tutorial letters you receive form part of your study material and should be taken into
account when you prepare for the examination.
myUnisa and the internet: Remember that myUnisa provides you with additional
opportunities to take part in activities and discussions of relevance to this module and
gives you easy access to assignments and your results. However, you must be registered
on myUnisa to be able to submit assignments, gain access to the library functions and
various learning resources, download study material, "chat" online to fellow students about
your studies and the challenges you encounter, and participate in online discussion
forums.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
