Exam Pack 2021
,Welcome
If you are reading these questions you are studying (HRM2605) with UNISA. These notes are being
written in collaboration with all our Together We Pass (HRM2605) group members this term, and will be
built upon year on year to create the best set of study notes, with the most useful summaries, hints and
tips we can possibly put together.
How this works:
1. Your tutor will assign each member a learning outcome to describe or summarise
2. Once you have completed it, you will be assigned another
3. We encourage you to work through as many as possible, and also read and comment on
others explanations as this is the BEST way of learning.
4. We are creating COMPREHENSIVE notes so try to put everything that needs to be covered
into your summary
5. Your tutors will compile this into this set of notes, drawing on other explanations, YouTube
videos or resources they feel might be useful
Good luck this term, and we look forward to working with you!
