This is a portfolio examination conducted on the myExams platform. As this is an open-book
examination, you must use your study guide and feedback from your marked assignments.
You should also consult and integrate material from additional sources into your essays.You
must use examples in your discussions to substantiate your arguments, and to show that you
understand.
This module is NOT using the invigilator app. Please note that your answer will be submitted
to the Turnitin (a plagiarism detector) platform automatically.
Follow the guidelines in Tutorial Letter DVAALLD/301 for essay writing, citation and
referencing. You must provide evidence-based arguments and acknowledge the sources of
your information by means of consistent and correct in-text citations. Direct quotations must
be placed in inverted commas (“…”) with a page reference as explained in Tutorial Letter
DVAALLD/301. All sources cited in your text should also be listed in the list of references at
the end of each answer. NB Each answer must have its applicable reference list, do not
consolidate it into one list. Please keep this tutorial letter (DVAALLD/301) at hand and read it
carefully. You can download the tutorial letter from the module site on myUnisa. It is available
in English, Sepedi, and isiZulu.
Plagiarism will be severely penalised. Your essays must be your own work, in your own
words. Group work will be equally penalised as will any form of copying from any student, or
any attempt to commit academic dishonesty. No hand-written scanned-in exam answer
scripts will be accepted in this exam. Submit only word-processed, PDF-converted scripts.
Before uploading your answers (exam file), you will be asked to first agree to an Honour
Pledge online. The Department of Development Studies feels very strongly that you need to
abide by the pledge and we therefore attached an additional Departmental Honesty
Declaration at the end of this exam question paper as Annexure A. Please read and reread it
as you work on your exam answers (i.e. exam file). Please attach a signed or initialled copy
of the Departmental Honesty Declaration to your completed exam file. If you do not attach the
signed Departmental Honesty Declaration to the exam file, it will not be marked. An MS Word
version of the Departmental Honesty Declaration will be available under the “Additional
Resources” tab on the module site for you to download and attach to your exam file before
uploading.
You have 48 hours in which to submit your portfolio on myExams.
