1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
We are pleased to welcome you to this module and hope that you will find it both interesting and rewarding.
We will do our best to make your study of this module successful. You will be well on your way to success if
you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the assignments properly.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the semester. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
This tutorial letter contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and assignments for
this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study
material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your
lecturers.
Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with this tutorial letter as it gives you an idea of generally
important information when studying at a distance and within a particular College.
In this tutorial letter (101), you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as instructions on
the preparation and submission of the assignments. It also provides all the information you need with
regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and how to obtain them. Please study this
information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible.
We have also included certain general and administrative information about this module. Please study this
section of the tutorial letter carefully.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive during
the semester immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes, urgent
information.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
