Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to welcome you to the second year Microeconomics module. This is
one of the most important tutorial letters for this module, so read it carefully. We
hope you will find the module both interesting and rewarding. You will be well on
your way to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do
both the assignments properly. Doing the assignments is a vital part of the course.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the semester. A tutorial letter is
our way of communicating with you regarding teaching, learning and assessment.
In this tutorial letter, you will find the assignment questions, information on
assessment criteria and student support services, as well as instructions for the
preparation and submission of your assignments. The tutorial letter also provides all
the information you need regarding the prescribed study material, other course-
related resources and the way to obtain them. Please study all the information
carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material (prescribed book)
as soon as possible!
We also included certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study the relevant sections of the letter carefully.
You are advised to read all the tutorial letters you receive during the semester
immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes,
urgent and critical information.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
