October/November 2020 Portfolio
for the summative assessment which is classified as a ‘portfolio’.
• Follow the instructions to submit your portfolio.
(6) If your answers are typed, ensure that the following requirements are adhered to. Items 6.2; 6.3;
6.6; & 6.7 apply to written assignments as well.
6.1 All the pages must be numbered in the bottom right hand corner of the page.
6.2 Your exam answers must be submitted in PDF format.
6.3 Portfolio answers must not exceed ten (10) typed pages or twelve (12) written pages.
Please adhere to the length restrictions. If your answer exceeds the prescribed length, we
shall stop marking when your answer reaches the page limit.
6.4 Your exam must be typed in Arial 12pt with single line spacing within the paragraph, and
double line spacing after the paragraph.
6.5 The text must be justified.
6.6 South African English and not American English should be used. For example, the correct
spelling is “Labour” and not “Labor”.
6.7 Do not use abbreviations or SMS language.
6.8 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 portfolio, a maximum of 5% of the text may be quoted.
(7) When answering the portfolio 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. 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. PLEASE DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM THE STUDY
GUIDE (OR YOUR TEXTBOOK).
(8) You must familiarise yourself with the UNISA rules pertaining to plagiarism. Plagiarism will result
in zero marks, disciplinary action, and possible expulsion from UNISA.
(9) The arguments that you make must be logical, well-structured and substantiated by all of the
relevant legal principles. You are given 24 hours to complete the portfolio. Use the time given
wisely.
(10) Several 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
