Second examiner : Prof EJ van der Westhuizen
This examination question paper consists of three (4) pages.
Rough work will not be marked.
Instructions:
You are expected, in this online examination, to evaluate, critically analyse and apply the
information in your study material. You therefore need to deliver well-structured and well-
presented arguments and solutions. Be wary of making statements without substantiating
and motivating them. It is essential to provide practical examples of the application of theory
in the public sector. Please note that you are not allowed to copy content from sources
verbatim as this would constitute plagiarism, which is a disciplinary offense. You therefore
have to re-write the content in your own words. You may use extra information sources. Note
that Wikipedia, Facebook and YouTube are not academic sources.
You must not communicate with fellow students during the examination. No group work
will be accepted, and cases of misconduct will be referred to the relevant Academic Integrity
Sub-committee for investigation. Your marks will be affected negatively should
plagiarism be detected, or should you use non-academic sources.
Your submitted examination answer will be marked by assessing the clarity of thought, use
of content to support arguments and ability to clearly explain how practical examples relate
to the examination question.
NOTE: At least 30% of the marks are allocated to the application of the theory.
Please make sure that your grammar, expression and general use of the English language
are correct. Remember that poor grammar and presentation may negatively affect the way
your work is perceived by the assessor.
Please submit your examination answer on the myExams platform.
