Dear Student
ASSESSMENT CHANGES for 2021 ACADEMIC YEAR
Due to the ministerial request to extend the 2021 registration dates, Unisa had to amend both
the semester dates and the assessment arrangements for the 2021 academic year. During
2021 we will have only one semester and only one tuition and assessment period.
The purpose of this TL001 is to inform you of the new assessment requirements for module
ECS3707 for students registered during 2021 for the one semester period.

1.1.1 Answering an essay question
When writing an essay, you should convince the reader of your sound understanding of the
topic and of the persuasiveness of your argument. Every aspect of an essay, from the problem
statement in the introduction to the completeness of the bibliography, should contribute to the
achievement of these goals. Make use of the following steps when preparing essay-type
answers to the assignment questions:
Determine the goal. It is essential to determine exactly what is required of you before you start
to write an essay. One way to do this is to underline and consider the relationships among the
key words in the question.
Determine the sources. For each essay, you will be expected to consult at least 10
sources which must be included in your bibliography. With each assignment question, you
need to determine which are the appropriate sections in the textbook, and which articles to use.
The textbook and prescribed articles are compulsory works which you must consult when
preparing answers. It is, however, also necessary to consult other sources. These could be
relevant books, scholarly journals and reports.
Design a framework. It is always tempting to start writing an essay as soon as the required
reading is finished, thus allowing the structure of the essay to emerge from the writing process
(as if guided by an invisible hand?). Resist this temptation. It is very important to follow the
reading phase by considering the importance of the various arguments, and systematising them
in a framework of headings and sub-headings. For one thing, it is compulsory to provide a title
and a table of contents at the beginning of each essay, and to structure your essays by means
of numbered headings and sub-headings. You can develop this initial framework further to meet
these requirements. More importantly, designing a framework before you start writing will help
