1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to this module. I hope and trust that you are enjoying studying this module. I would like to
commend you for your hard work and be able to look forward for the coming exams. It takes a lot of
guts and character to arrive at this particular destination. I have highlighted some important points that
will assist you with the preparation for the exams.

A. The format of the examination paper

The examination paper is a two hour paper which consists of a total of 100 marks.

B. The scope of the paper

All study units sections from the study guide must be used in conjunction with the prescribed
textbook. The study guide gives an indication of the relevant parts of the textbook which should be
studied. Most of the aspects covered in the study guide and some from the two assignments will
form part of the exams questions.

C. Revision

Revise the two assignments without copying answers from the book and the previous
examination papers.

D. Assessment

You require 50% to pass this module. To achieve 50% or higher your year mark (which is a mark from
all the formative assessments you completed) and final examination mark will be used to calculate a
final module mark. Remember that the year mark will only make up 30% of the final module mark and
the summative assessment mark achieved during the first examination session will make up 70% of the
final module mark. Refer back to TUT101 where you will find the weighting for each assignment that
forms the final formative assessment mark. Your summative assessment mark makes up a larger
proportion of your final mark which means you have to prepare yourself very well for the coming
summative assessment, not to be disappointed. You need to get a subminimum of 40% in the exam in
order for the year mark to form part of the final mark. You will only be given a supplementary
examination if you achieved 40% or higher in the first summative assessment opportunity and have not
pass the module when the year marks was factored in to the final module mark composition. A final
module mark below
50% means you have failed the module. A final module mark above 75% is a distinction mark.

E. How to answer questions

Number your questions correctly as stated in the exam paper. Give answers that are relevant to what
is asked by the question.

Good Luck
