,Welcome
If you are reading these notes you are studying MNG3701 with UNISA. These notes are being written in
collaboration with all our Together We Pass MNG3701 group members this term, and will be built upon year on
year to create the best set of study notes, with the most useful summaries, hints and tips we can possibly put
together.
How this works:
1. Your tutor will assign each member a learning outcome to describe or summarise
2. Once you have completed it, you will be assigned another
3. We encourage you to work through as many as possible, and also read and comment on others
explanations as this is the BEST way of learning.
4. We are creating COMPREHENSIVE notes so try to put everything that needs to be covered into your
summary
5. Your tutors will compile this into this set of notes, drawing on other explanations, YouTube videos or
resources they feel might be useful
Good luck this term, and we look forward to working with you!
