Dear Student
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a
transformation charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this
charter, we have also placed curriculum transformation high on the agenda. For your
information, curriculum transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred
scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the
scholarship of teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and
philosophies. These pillars and their principles will be integrated at both the programme and
module levels, as a phased-in approach. You will notice the implementation thereof in your
modules, and we encourage you to fully embrace these changes during your studies at
Unisa.

, 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULE
Dear Student
We are pleased to welcome you to this module and hope that you will find it both interesting
and rewarding. We shall do our best to make your study of this module successful. You will
be well on your way to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do
the assignments properly and to submit them on time.
Please note that Personality Theories is a semester module. A module runs over ± four
months (12-15 weeks). Please take note of your registration period, make sure
whether you are registered for Semester 1 or for Semester 2. All the details regarding
the assignments and examination for each semester are provided in this tutorial letter.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the semester. A tutorial letter is our way
of communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
All tutorial letters will be made available on myUnisa. Regular access to the Internet and
myUnisa is very important and will keep you informed of all you need to know about your
studies. These ICT tools make it much easier to communicate with the university, with
your lecturers, and with other students about their learning and challenges. In addition,
you will need to have registered on myUnisa in order to submit assignments, access
library resources, download your study material, etc., but the most important thing to
remember is that myUnisa will give you additional chances to participate in activities, tasks
and discussions around your module topics, your assignments, your marks, and your
examinations.
Tutorial Letter 101/2021 contains important information about the scheme of work,
assessment criteria and resources for this module. You will also find the instructions on the
preparation and submission of the assignments in this tutorial letter. We urge you to read it
carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study material, preparing the
assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your lecturers.
This tutorial letter also provides all the information you need with regard to the prescribed
study material and other resources and how to obtain these. Please study this
information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed book as soon as
possible.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters
that are made available during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always
contain important and, sometimes, urgent information.
