This paper consists of FOUR (4) pages.
Instructions:
This is a portfolio examination conducted on the myExams platform. As this is an open-book
examination, you must use your study guide learning units, e-reserves, information from discussion
classes and feedback from your marked assignments. While we encourage you to consult and
integrate material from additional sources into your essays, be reminded that your primary source of
material is the study guide learning units and e-reserves. Therefore, your work must reflect that you
at least consulted the study material.
The exam for this module is using the invigilator app. It is compulsory to use this app. Scripts of
students who have not utilised this app will be subject to disciplinary processes, and results will be
withheld pending the outcome of the disciplinary process. Your exam QR access code is embedded
above. Please read the instructions below on how to use the invigilator app during this exam.
Alternatively, an instruction document with the QR access code is also available under the
‘Announcements’ and ‘Additional Resources’ tab on this myExams site.
• You should scan the QR Code as soon as you have downloaded your question paper during the 15 -
minute download window before the official exam start time per the timetable, i.e., at 12:30 on the
day of the exam.
• Please take note that you can only scan the QR code for a limited time (30 minutes) after the
commencement time of the assessment and it should therefore be scanned as soon as possible to
start the invigilation.
• Please take note that you can only scan the QR code once. Make sure you are ready to start the
assessment when you scan the QR Code.
• It is important to note that you must adhere to the time limit in your myExams assessment as the
invigilation time in the app could exceed the time allocated to complete your assessment.
Keep the Invigilator app open on your cell phone during the assessment. You are not allowed to leave
or minimise the application. You cannot minimise the application and use your smartphone for
typing. If you wish to use a smartphone for typed responses, you will need an additional
smartphone. If you finish your assessment before the app timer has run out, you need to
press the ‘Finished assessment’ button and follow further instructions before you leave the
app.
• If you experience technical difficulties on The Invigilator App, contact the technical helpdesk via
WhatsApp on 073 505 8273.
Follow the guidelines in Tutorial Letter DVAALLD/301 for essay writing, citation and referencing. You
can download the tutorial letter from the module site on myUnisa. It is available in English, Sepedi,
and isiZulu. Direct quotations must be placed in inverted commas (“…”) with a page reference as
explained in Tutorial Letter DVAALLD/301. In addition to in- text referencing, you need to also provide
a list of references at the end of your answer.
Plagiarism will be severely penalised. The University has a zero-tolerance policy stance on academic
dishonesty relating to assignments and examinations. All students are encouraged to familiarise
themselves with the academic writing requirements prescribed by Departments and the content of
the University’s policy for copyright infringement and plagiarism. All students found guilty of
academic misconduct will be referred for disciplinary action and may have marks withdrawn and face
up to a maximum of five years suspension from the University and all other universities in the country.

Your answers must be your own work, in your own words supported with academic references. Group
work will be equally penalised as will any form of copying from any student, or any attempt to commit
academic dishonesty. No handwritten scanned-in exam answer scripts or scanned typed and AI
generated responses will be accepted in this exam. Submit only word-processed, PDF-converted
scripts.
You will be asked to agree to an academic honesty pledge online before you are allowed to upload
your exam file. Please click on the pledge to confirm your academic honesty. Your exam submission
is linked to Turnitin and you must therefore accept the Turnitin End User Licence Agreement (EULA)
upon submission.
You have 4 hours in which to complete and submit your portfolio on myExams.
