10.7 All quotes that are two lines long (or less), must form part of the main text, be written in italics, and
be bracketed by quotation marks. Where a quotation is longer than two lines, it must be typed in a
separate paragraph in italics in size 11 font and must be indented by 1 cm. No quotation marks are
required when the quotations stand alone. Use quotations very sparingly. In this take-home exam,
a maximum of 5% of the text may be quoted.
11. When answering the take-home exam questions, remember that an open-book exam is a test at a
higher level than the usual type of exam, where memory is tested as much as insight. In an open-
book exam, you need not memorise any information. You are expected to prove that you can use
information, rather than merely repeat it. In brief, what is being tested is factual knowledge,
understanding and the correct application thereof, not memory skills. For this reason, you do not
earn marks by merely detailing a list of all the information that you think might be relevant to a
particular question. This gives no indication that you know what statutory or other provisions are
applicable in a specific context. You are expected to identify precisely what information applies, and
then explain why you think so.
11.1 Also, because you have the guide available when answering questions, we do not give marks for
direct quotations from the guide. You are therefore assessed on your level of understanding of the
legal principles by looking at how well you applied the principles to the questions.
11.2 PLEASE DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM THE STUDY GUIDE (OR ANY OTHER SOURCE).
12. The arguments that you make must be logical, well-structured and substantiated by all of the
relevant legal principles. You are given two and a half hours to complete the take-home exam. Use
the time given wisely.
12.1 Ensure that you give reasons for each answer. Substantiate your answers by referring to ALL of the
relevant authorities, e.g. sections from relevant legislation and/or court cases in the text or in your
footnotes.
12.2 You are required to have read and summarised the prescribed cases yourself. The summaries in the
Study Guide are not sufficient for this exam. When using case law to support your answer, please
include complete references to the relevant cases in your footnotes. This means that you must not
only include the name of the case but also the exact page and section and/or paragraph where the
information can be found. The same applies to articles and books used.
12.3 A number of students lose marks because they do not approach problem-type questions correctly.
When answering such questions, it is important to first clarify for yourself the area of work where
the answer must be sought. Once you have done this, set out the relevant legal principles. Deal only
with those principles that relate to the given facts. Next, apply these principles to the facts. This is
where most of the students lose marks - they set out the law in some detail, but then do not illustrate
how it applies to the factual situation they have been asked to solve. Finally, state your conclusion.
13. By ticking the Honour Pledge, you confirm that you have read (i) the University’s Policy on Copyright
Infringement and Plagiarism and the Student Disciplinary Code, which are both available on
myUnisa: www.unisa.ac.za/unisarules, and (ii) the information relating to student values and
plagiarism that is found at https://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/myunisa/default/Study-@-Unisa/Student-
values-and-rules.
13.1 Students suspected of dishonest conduct during the examination will be subjected to disciplinary
processes. UNISA has zero tolerance for plagiarism and/or any other forms of academic dishonesty.
