Dear Student

rewarding. We shall 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
assignment(s) properly.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters from us during the semester. A tutorial letter is our
way of communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment. You must read all
the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they
always contain important and sometimes urgent information. This tutorial letter contains
important information about the scheme of work, resources and assignments for this module.
Please read it carefully and keep it safe so that you can consult it, if needed, as you work
through the study material, complete assignments, prepare for the examination and direct
questions to your lecturers.
You must be registered on myUnisa to be able to submit your assignments online, gain access
to the library functions and various learning resources, to "chat" to your lecturers and fellow
students about your studies and the challenges that you may encounter, and to participate in
online discussion forums on myUnisa. Most importantly, however, is the fact that all the
learning units for the module are available on myUnisa, and you will only be able to
access the online study material for this module if you have registered on and have
access to myUnisa. Please visit the LML4806 module sites on myUnisa often. The module
site for the first semester is LML4806-18-S1, and the module site for the second semester is

with some of the study materials in printed format. This will allow you to read the study
materials without going online. While these printed materials may look slightly different from the
