, 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 AND WELCOME
The lecturers for LLB Research Report (RRLLB81) would like to extend a warm word of
welcome to all students currently registered for this module. We hope that you will find the
research both rewarding and enriching.
This module follows on from the third-year level module for the LLB, namely Legal Research
Methodology (LME3701). Whereas LME3701 prepared you for the writing of a research
proposal, RRLLB81s outcome is the drafting and submission of a FULL research report.
Therefore, please note that the outcomes of LME3701 and RRLLB81 are DIFFERENT.
Tutorial Letter 102/3/2021 contains further study material for this module. Tutorial Letter
103/3/2021 contains the topics for Assignment 02 and Assignment 03, and instructions for doing
those assignments.
NOTE: The pre-requisite for this module is that you MUST have completed LME3701 first as
LME3701 forms the foundation for the final research report which is the outcome for RRLLB81.
It is important that you start preparing for this module early in the semester in order to ensure
the successful completion of your research report.
This tutorial letter contains valuable information and we advise you to keep it nearby whenever
working on the module, when preparing assignments and the final Portfolio, and addressing
questions to the lecturers.
We would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive during the
semester immediately, as they always contain important (and sometimes also urgent)
information. Be advised that myUnisa, on which we upload the study material and tutorial letters
as soon as they are available, is a valuable source of information. Consult this resource as often
as possible.
RRLLB81 is a capstone module. As the word suggests, a capstone course is meant to
represent a student's definitive achievement in a degree programme. The capstone course is
typically defined as a crowning course or experience coming at the end of a sequence of
modules with the specific objective of integrating a body of relatively fragmented knowledge into
a unified whole. This capstone course is aimed at assessing both theoretical and practical
knowledge, to help you identify valid and important questions in a particular field, provide you
with the opportunity to evaluate the interaction and interrelatedness of the subcategories of a
field, and open your minds to the fact that there may be more than one approach to every
problem.
