PLS2607 - Philosophy Of Science S1 Preparation for Assessment 02 2022. 1. Plagiarism: Every idea that you use in your work which is not your own unique work needs to be referenced such that you do not commit plagiarism. This applies as much to direct quotations as it does to paraphrasing. You need to follow the instructions for referencing provided by the Discipline of Philosophy. These can be obtained in the additional resources section of PLS2607’s myUnisa page or by consultation with the Tutorial Letter 301 (WYSALLB). Referencing (both within the text of your assessment and in a bibliography) IS NOT OPTIONAL. Be aware that the University of South Africa can take action against students who plagiarise.

Please be aware of this. 2. Keeping to the assessment topic: A major problem facing students is not keeping to the assigned topics. It is imperative that this is done, as without maintaining focus on the question asked, the answer provided is irrelevant to the assessment and your assessment result will be poor. Our suggestion is that when you consider the question, attempt firstly to find out what is being asked of you. Once you adequately understand the topic, direct your research to the relevant information required. 3. Assessment lengths: For assessment 02, please take note of the length of essays: keep your Assessments to the word limit specified – that means assessment 02 should be no longer than 1000 words. Please indicate the number of words out of which your Assessment is comprised. You will be penalised if you exceed this word limit. 4. A philosophical approach to writing essays: This section should assist you in the content-development of your second Assessment. As many registered for this module are not Philosophy majors, a technique for essay writing in the Philosophical manner may be foreign. Thus, here we explain a simple method to follow when you are asked to “discuss”, “critically discuss” or “evaluate” a topic in the format of an essay for this module. When given one of the aforementioned instructions (or similar), it is important to bear in mind that you are required to give your critical thoughts on issues as well as to explain particular theories. This does not mean that you should write down any meanderings your mind may take you on. Rather, what you should provide is relevant information that makes logical sense and which can be backed up with evidence.
