and prescribed reading material (articles or e-reserves). You will find links to these under the
“Additional Resources” tab on the myUnisa module site: 2019 S1 and S2, and 2020 S1 and S2. You
may also consult and integrate material from additional sources into your essays.

opportunity to read and reread it as you work on your portfolio. Please attach a signed or initialled
copy of the Honesty Declaration to your portfolio. Marks will be deducted if this is omitted or
incomplete. You can download a word version of the honesty declaration under the “Additional
Resources” tab on the module site.
