Communication with you will be via email, and Moodle from time to time.

Communication with you will be via email and Moodle from time to time. It is university policy that you must use
your university allocated e-mail address for all correspondence with your lecturer and other members of the
faculty or staff at the university. You will need to be diligent and check email and Moodle multiple times per day.

I am available for F2F consultation in my office 041 504 4259, Room 0131 without an appointment, on the
following days and times:
Mondays: 10hr00 to 12hr00
Tuesdays: 14hr40 to 17hr00

As per the Faculty’s Complaints Procedure, if you are experiencing any issues in this module, you must contact
me or consult with me to discuss the issue. Where we are unable to resolve the issue, you may raise it with the
Head of Department, Marc Welgemoed, [email protected]. If an issue cannot be resolved by
your lecturer or the HoD, it may be escalated to the Dean’s office.

The Faculty, in partnership with the Success Coaching Division and the Emthonjeni Wellness Centre, offers a
peer-mentoring programme. Should you experience any difficulties, academic or other, please contact the faculty
co-ordinator Miss Tina Hokwana at [email protected] for assistance. Miss Hokwana is ably

E-Mail Etiquette
As a Nelson Mandela University Law student and future graduate, you must learn and practice these basic principles of email
etiquette.

DO I NEED TO SEND THIS EMAIL?


First gather the basic information: Check the relevant Module Guide and Funda Moodle announcements. You can also ask the
elected representative or even your fellow students. Administrative information is included in your course module guide.

It is not necessary to email your lecturer about every lecture that you have missed. Attendance is required at university level,
but it is always your responsibility to catch up with work that you have missed.

If something is still not clear or you have an individual or personal query, then you are welcome to send an email to the
lecturer/course co-ordinator.
Please also be aware of the Escalation Policy, which must be strictly adhered to, in the case of complaints.

WHICH E-MAIL ADDRESS SHOULD I USE?

Always use your Mandela email address for all correspondence to and from Mandela. If you use a private email account, ensure
that the account has a professional name (simply your name and surname will suffice, e.g. [email protected]).

Please avoid inappropriate and playful email names such as the examples provided below. This does not go down well in
any professional environment.

For example, [email protected] or “boeboe4evayours@ gmail.com” or “[email protected]”.

5|Page
WHAT DO I INSERT IN THE SUBJECT LINE?

Provide a clear indication of what your email is about as the subject line helps your lecturer/recipient to determine what the
email is about, even before opening the message.

Do not leave the subject line blank.

The subject line should be brief, clear, and specific.

Do not write in CAPITAL LETTERS E.G. “JILB401 TEST ISSUES”.

HOW DO I STRUCTURE MY E-MAIL?

Start with a greeting and appropriate salutation and refer to the recipient by their correct title, name and surname or title and
surname. For example, Dear Professor Knoetze” or “Adv Coetzee” or “Ms/ Hokwana”

Avoid referring to your lecturers and other staff members on a first-name basis unless they explicitly permit you to do so.

Other professional salutations such as “Good morning” and “Good afternoon” are acceptable. Casual greetings such as “Hey”
are not.

6|Page
INTRODUCE YOURSELF

State your full name, student number and the relevant module code.

1. Briefly describe the problem or question that you have.

2. Briefly explain how you have tried to solve the problem, if possible

3. Specifically state what assistance you require. Do not make demands.

Be proactive: if you have been struggling with your studies, email your lecturer in advance and try to seek guidance /
support when you have an upcoming test or assignment.

Be polite, professional, and constructive. Do not write in a combative, disrespectful, or sarcastic tone. DO NOT use slang,
colloquialism, foul language, emoji’s, text language (“lol”).
If you include attachments, ensure that the file is readily accessible (Word or PDF-format), and the file name is recognisable e.g.
“S2307018JLKV100Draft1” or “OPotelwaJLKV100Draft1.

PROOFREAD YOUR E-MAIL FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR

Your grammar, spelling and layout of your email reflect your image. Use a proper, legible, and professional font style.

POLITELY SIGN OFF ON THE E-MAIL

“I look forward to hearing from you.” or “Thank you for your time.” or “Sincerely” or “Kind regards”.

USE A PROFESSIONAL SIGNATURE

FACULTY’S COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
Students must follow the faculty complaints procedure when they have a complaint. As per the Faculty’s Complaints Procedure, if
you are experiencing any problems relating to the module, you must contact me or consult with me to discuss the issue. Where we
cannot resolve the issue, you may raise it with the Head of Department (HoD), [insert details of HoD]. If an issue cannot be
resolved by your lecturer or the HoD it may be escalated to the Deputy Dean. If the deputy dean cannot resolve the issue, it must

FACULTY RULES
It is imperative that you comply with the rules of the

RULES & Faculty of Law and that, in the event of any enquiry,
complaint, unhappiness, you are first to consult with
HONESTY
INTEGRITY your lecturer, and thereafter, the relevant Head of
Department.

As a student studying a module presented by the Faculty of Law, you are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic
honesty when completing assessments. Nelson Mandela University issued an important statement explaining the institution’s
position on Generative Artificial intelligence Please click on this link to read this important statement: Generative AI Statement
https://lt.mandela.ac.za/Generative-Artificial-Intelligence

This means that you may NOT:


 Plagiarise someone else’s work.
 Capture and circulate screenshots of assessments to any student.
 Solicit the help of others to complete assessments.
 Contract with any person to complete assessments.

Students may not employ the use of Generative AI or other technologies such as Bard, ChatGPT, Bing, or Perplexity, as well as
any others for the following purposes in this module:

 Copy and paste generated intellectual work.


 Claiming a generated product (text, image, creation) as your own.

13 | P a g e
 Generating information for assessments, projects, and assignments, unless it is explicitly instructed by the academic, who
has provided clear guidelines in the form of permissions and prohibitions as to the appropriate use thereof as part of an
assessment designed around the use of AI.
 Used for unfair advantage – when you are determined to deceive and not appropriately use something.
 Using AI and not appropriately referencing the sources represented in the generated text, image and/or other product.
 Use AI and do not ensure that the sources represented in the generated text, image and/or other product are accurate and
represent the actual work of existing sources.
 Generating information via AI that may or may not represent the intellectual work of another person, people or AI and
thereafter making further use of AI to disguise this information and then present it as one’s own, for example by using
paraphrasing software.
 When you do not follow permissions and prohibitions provided in the assessment guidelines.
 When you are not transparent about its use, do not reference and acknowledge your sources and cannot independently
verify the content.

You may use generative AI for the following purposes:


 search engine.
 enhancing understanding
 gaining insights
 gathering information
 clarifying concepts

Practical guidelines:
 If GenAI is used, this must be made clear in the footnote.
 The specific GenAI tool that has been used must be stipulated.

14 | P a g e
The accuracy of the AI-generated content you have used must be verified and it must be clear from the reference how this was
verified – for example, a journal article published in an accredited journal, a case, or a legislative provision that supports the
statement.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Academic dishonesty is regarded in a serious light by the Faculty of Law. Where there is a suspicion that you are involved in
academic dishonesty, you WILL BE referred to Legal Services at the university for disciplinary action. Should you be found guilty of
academic dishonesty or plagiarism, such conviction may be recorded against your academic record. In such an event the faculty of
Law CANNOT provide you with the ‘fit and proper’ testimonial and neither will the university provide you with a certificate of good
conduct. Both are needed to register articles in the legal profession.

FORMAT OF ASSESSMENTS

Where your lecturer prescribes an assessment in the form of an assignment, the following rules will apply:

Assignments should be referenced using the Obiter stylistic guidelines, available on the Funda Moodle site. All assignment
submissions are to be uploaded on Funda Moodle in PDF format. All assignments must be checked against Turnitin to ensure that
students have included all the relevant sources in footnotes and the bibliography, have not relied on AI to complete the assignment,
and have not committed plagiarism.

Your lecturer will create a draft submission section on Funda Moodle where you can upload your draft assignment and check it
against Turnitin. You will have three opportunities to check your draft assignment against Turnitin on the draft site. The final
assignment must be uploaded on Funda Moodle in the space created for submission of final assignments. Please note that there is
no opportunity to submit drafts where it is marked ‘assignments for final submission’.

16 | P a g e
LAST OUTSTANDING EXAMINATION
Last outstanding examinations and EMAs are only considered when you are in your final year, and you only
need one module to graduate. The faculty determines last-outstanding-assessments at the end of each
semester. After the June and November examinations, the Faculty determines which students have only failed
one module. Those students are then granted an opportunity to write a last outstanding examination / EMA
during the July (first semester modules) and January (second semester modules) re-examination or re-EMA
periods.

If a student had, for example,. registered an extra elective(s) in the 2nd semester (as precautionary); or failed a
compulsory module and an elective in the 1st semester, the Faculty assumes that the student will pass all 1st
semester special or re-assessment examinations/EMAs and the 2nd semester modules (where a student has a
special or re-assessment examination/EMA, the Faculty assumes that the student will pass such an examination
and still award the LOE/A (Last Outstanding Exam/Assessment)). The failed compulsory module will be the only
outstanding module to complete (as the student can potentially complete if the student is granted and passes a
Last Outstanding re-assessment for the compulsory module and passes all the 2nd semester modules).

17 | P a g e
If the student fails the Last Outstanding for the compulsory 1st semester module and passes all the 2nd
semester modules, the student will need to redo the failed compulsory module (register the next year) as another
last outstanding opportunity will not be granted for the compulsory 1st semester module (as a last outstanding
had already been granted. There is no opportunity to be awarded a last outstanding examination again for a first
semester module in the January re-assessment period. (In line with rule G1.13 of the General Prospectus 2021

This means that the mark awarded (which may not exceed 50%) for the last outstanding assessment (covering
all the work of the semester or the year) will be the student’s final mark. Last outstanding assessments can only
be granted provided the student was registered for and was active in the module during the 2024 academic
year.

Please note that rule G1.13.2.11 (“a last outstanding re-assessment will not be granted for continuous
assessment modules”) applies to the traditional continuous assessment modules such as Legal Skills
and Legal Practice.

FORMAT OF ASSESSMENTS

Where your lecturer prescribes an assessment in the form of an assignment, the following rules will
apply:

Assignments should be referenced by using the Obiter stylistic guidelines that are available on the Module
Moodle site. All assignment submissions are to be uploaded on Moodle in PDF format where possible. All
assignments must be checked against Turnitin to ensure that students have included all the relevant sources in
footnotes and the bibliography, have not relied on AI to complete the assignment and have not committed
plagiarism.

Your lecturer will create a draft submission section on Moodle where you will be able to upload your draft
assignment and check it against Turnitin. You will have three opportunities to check your draft assignment
against Turnitin on the draft site. The final assignment must be uploaded on Moodle in the space created for
submission of final assignments. Please note that there is no opportunity to submit drafts where it is marked
‘assignments for final submission’.

aimed at informing the student where he/she went wrong when answering the question. For example, memoranda of assessments,
may include a skeletal outline of the model answer. Your lecturer will provide general comments on marked assignments.

Mark-related queries must be raised within five weekdays after the scripts for each specific assessment were handed out
during the lecture for the first time. Any requests outside of the five weekdays will not be considered. This means that mark
change requests will not be entertained/considered after five weekdays.

Please note that all uncollected scripts will be shredded in July for semester 1 assessments and in December for
Semester 2 assessments.

21 | P a g e
REMARK PROCEDURE FOR TESTS AND ASSESSMENTS
EXAMS
The faculty is not involved in the application process for remarks of examinations. You must follow the university rules for
applications for remarks of examinations. If you require a remark on an examination, please approach the Assessment and
Graduation Office, and make an appointment to view your paper. This is free and will allow you to view the memorandum to
assess how your paper was marked. Should you feel that your paper was marked incorrectly, you can apply for a remark on your
paper. The Assessment and Graduation Office charges a cost for remarks that must be paid by you (the applicant). The paper will
be sent to the faculty to be remarked. Please note that remarks are not done by the lecturer but by another academic in the field
who is appointed by the relevant Head of Department.
