MODULE INTRODUCTION
Welcome and enjoy the ride!
Once again, welcome to Sustainability and Greed (SUS1501) – this time from the
lecturing team.
As we have already said, this is going to be one of the craziest, and hopefully, one of
the most interesting modules that you will do during your studies. So prepare
yourself psychologically now. This module is meant to confuse you. It's meant to
force you to scratch your head. It’s meant to force you to question things and to
wonder.
Purpose
Ok. That’s the basic warning (or promise depending on how you look at it). But
besides making you think, what is the formal purpose of this module - the purpose
which we put on all our documentation? Assuming you read the Dean's Welcome
you would already know what it is. But just in case you skimmed through what the
Dean had to say, it goes like this:
“The purpose of this signature module is to remind commerce students of
their humanity, and to present them with a primer to a lifetime of critical
thinking. This purpose is pursued by: a) students exploring selected moral
and political philosophy theories and basic informal logic; and b) students
applying these theories to “case studies” dealing with contemporary social
themes including sustainability and greed. ”
Doesn’t sound too whacky really, does it? Don’t be fooled.
Module Structure
But before we get to the whacky-ness and head scratching, it is important to
recognise that we don’t want you to be scratching your head because you are kept
guessing as to what is coming next. There are no secrets here. The module will play
out as follows:

How You'll Be Assessed
Right - let the craziness begin.
In a "normal" Unisa module, you will typically do two assignments and then a written
exam. This means that some of you will only really work for a week in an entire
semester. You'll do:
- an hour when you get your study pack to find the assignment dates
- a day or two before assignment 1,
- a day or two before assignment 2, and
- two or three days before the exam.
The extra days for the exam are because the exam mark usually makes up 80% or
90% of the total module mark.
Does this sound about right? ..... of course it does - for some of you!
Well, this module works nothing like this! Here you will do eight assignments and a
final "portfolio assignment"......
Yup - you heard us - eight (8) assignments plus a portfolio!
What's more, the eight assignments (the year mark) count 80% of the total mark.
This means that the final portfolio (which replaces the exam) counts only 20%.

EIGHT ASSIGNMENTS!!!!
Don't panic!
This doesn't mean you are going to be doing four times the amount of work during
the semester. The assignments are really mini-assignments. With the exception of
Assignment 01 which is 20 multiple choice questions and assignment 9 (the
portfolio), they generally involve writing three or four paragraphs (about 500-1000
words).
There are two implications of all of this. Firstly it means that you really need to keep
working at the module throughout the semester. You can't just cram all the work in
two weeks! In fact you probably need to do a bit of work in every single week of the
semester. And we think this is a good thing. Secondly, it means that you cannot fail
your year mark miserably and hope to pass this module. In effect, if you have not
gotten at least 40% for your year mark you cannot pass this module. To help you
keep track of how you are doing, we have included a year mark calculator in the
"Additional Resources" link.
This module (as with all other modules at this level) is meant to take you 120 hours.
That is 15 eight-hour days. If you want to divide this up, it translates into 1 day for
assignment 1 and then just under 2 days for each of the remaining assignments and
the portfolio.
When it comes to our actual marking of your assignments (other than Assignment
01), we use a very simple marking guide. It looks something like this:
Criterion Score
Plagiarism / Submitted late / No Assignment 01 submitted / Nothing 0
submitted / Break rules of engagement
Minimum effort. 1
An attempt made but does not contain all required content, or much of the 2
theoretical content is clearly incorrect.
Within the range of what we expect - contains all required content as listed 3
above and these are not clearly incorrect.
Blows our mind 5
(Note: this may or may not contain all the required content, but the
presentation is excellent, the arguments are compelling, and in some way
they force the marker to rethink their own perspective on the questions being
asked.)
Of course, we are allowed to use any intermediate number that we think is
appropriate.
And that is how you will be assessed!
