Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
I am pleased to welcome you to this module and hope that you will find it both interesting and
rewarding. I will do my 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 year and resolve to do the assignments
properly.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. 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.
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.
I have also included certain general and administrative information about this module. Please
study this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
Right from the start I would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive
during the year immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes,
urgent information.
I hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
