This document MUST accompany your assignment as the cover page. Assignments
without this page will not be marked.
The Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies places specific emphasis on
integrity and ethical behaviour with regard to the preparation of all written work to be
submitted for academic evaluation. Although academic personnel will provide you with
information regarding reference techniques as well as ways to avoid plagiarism, you also
have a responsibility to fulfil in this regard. Should you at any time feel unsure about the
requirements, you must consult the lecturer concerned before you submit any written
work.
You are guilty of plagiarism when you extract information from a book, article or web
page without acknowledging the source, and pretend that it is your own work. In truth,
you are stealing someone else’s property. This does not only apply to cases where you
quote verbatim, but also when you present someone else’s work in a somewhat
amended format (paraphrase), or even when you use someone else’s deliberation
without the necessary acknowledgement. You are not allowed to use another student’s
current or previous work. You are furthermore not allowed to let anyone copy or use your
work with the intention of presenting it as his/her own.
Students who are guilty of plagiarism will forfeit all credit for the work concerned. In
addition, the matter can also be referred to the Disciplinary Committee for a ruling to be
made. Plagiarism is considered a serious violation of the university’s regulations and
may lead to suspension from the university. For the period that you are a student at the
Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies, the under-mentioned
declaration must accompany all written work to be submitted. No written work will be
accepted unless the declaration has been completed and attached.

Math has been a subject which I have excelled at from a young age, and certainly
it was my favourite subject. This isn’t the case for many others. I have always
wanted to be leader to the pupils, to get them to where they need to, to get into
their dream jobs, which requires a fair or excellent Math mark. I would certainly
say it is my passion. My aim is to make pupils enjoy the subject help them
understand it bit by bit. By using a holistic approach to teaching, learning about
each individual student, making them trust you, and have faith in you as their
teacher to help them pass, should be the best feeling ever! To see that smile on
their face when they passed or got an A is indescribable! My main teaching
