Instructions: 

This is a portfolio examination. As this is an open-book examination, you must use your study guide and prescribed reading material (articles, e-reserves or readers). You may also consult and integrate material from additional sources into your essays. 

Follow the guidelines in Tutorial Letter DVAALLD/301 for essay writing, citation and referencing. You must provide evidence-based arguments and acknowledge the source of your information by means of consistent and correct in-text citations. Direct quotations must be placed in inverted commas (“…”) with a page reference as explained in Tutorial Letter DVAALLD/301. All sources cited in your text should also be listed in the list of references at the end of each answer. Please keep this tutorial letter (DVAALLD/301) at hand and read it carefully. You can download the tutorial letter from the module site on myUnisa. It is available in English, Sepedi and isiZulu. 

Plagiarism will be severely penalised. Your essays must be your own work, in your own words. Group work will be equally penalised as will any form of copying from any student.
