Introduction to Development Studies
100 Marks
Duration 48 Hours
This paper consists of THREE (3) 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 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.
