1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
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.
We are pleased to welcome you to this module and hope that you will find it both interesting and
rewarding. 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.
Tutorial Letter 101 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 available 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 Tutorial Letter 101 as it gives you an idea of the
general important information that you need when studying at a distance and within a particular college. In
Tutorial Letter 101, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as instructions on the
preparation and submission of the assignments. This tutorial letter also provides all the information you
need about the prescribed study material and other resources and how to obtain it. Please study this
information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module. Please study
this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
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.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
