1. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME

1.1 Welcome

Dear Student

We welcome you to the module, Orientation to teaching Economic and Management

Sciences, which forms part of the Bed degree. We hope that you will find this module
interesting, constructive and useful. Accept the standards laid down as a stimulating
challenge and avoid a negative approach to your studies. Use the opportunity to develop
your knowledge and insight, and not just to pass the examination.

Although we are separated by distance, this does not mean that your lecturers regard
each of you merely as a computerised number. On the contrary, to us you are a learner
with ideals, dreams and expectations. We understand your problems as a part-time
student with other urgent and equally important obligations. Therefore, we want to assist
you academically, encourage you personally and help you to deal with any study
challenges you might have. Your progress is of the utmost importance to us and,
therefore, we expect you to start working through your study material early in the year.

1.2 The importance of this tutorial letter

This tutorial letter (Tutorial Letter 101) contains important information about the scheme
of work, resources and assignments for this module. The assignment assessment
standards, instructions for completing and submitting assignments, the prescribed study
material and all other resources form part of this tutorial letter. We have also included
certain general and administrative information about this module. Read this tutorial letter
carefully and keep it at hand when working through the study material, doing the
assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your lecturers.

Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with this tutorial letter since it contains
valuable information and guidelines for studying at the College of Education.

expect you to participate in these discussions at least once per month. Students usually
enjoy the discussions, as it is an exciting way of sharing concerns, success stories and
challenges with regard to economics and entrepreneurship.

6.1 First-Year Experience Programme @ Unisa

For many students, the transition from school education to tertiary education is beset with
anxiety. This is also true for first-time students to Unisa. Unisa is a dedicated open
distance and e-learning institution. Unlike face-to-face/contact institutions, Unisa is
somewhat different. It is a mega university and all our programmes are offered through a
blended learning mode or fully online learning mode. It is for this reason that we thought it
necessary to offer first-time students additional/extended support so that you can
seamlessly navigate the Unisa teaching and learning journey with little difficulty and few
barriers. In this regard we offer a specialised student support programme to students
entering Unisa for the first time. We refer to this programme as Unisa’s First-Year
Experience (FYE) Programme. The FYE is designed to provide you with prompt and
helpful information about services that the institution offers and how you can access
information. The following FYE programmes are currently offered:

• FYE website: All the guides and resources you need to navigate through your
first year at Unisa can be accessed using the following link:
www.unisa.ac.za/FYE

• FYE e-mails: You will receive regular e-mails to help you stay focused and motivate
FYE broadcasts: You will receive e-mails with links to broadcasts on various topics
related to your first-year studies (e.g. videos on how to submit assignments
online).

• FYE mailbox: For assistance with queries related to your first year of study, send an
e-mail to [email protected]

7 ASSESSMENT

See the brochure, Study @ Unisa, which you have received with your study material for
general information and requirements as far as assignments and the examination are
concerned.

7.1 Assessment of assignments

Please note:
Although you may work together when preparing for assignments, you must write and
submit your own individual assignment. In other words, you must submit your own ideas
in your own words, sometimes interspersed with relevant short quotations that are
properly referenced. It is unacceptable to submit identical assignments on the basis that
you have worked together. This is copying (a form of plagiarism) and none of these
assignments will be marked. Furthermore, you may be penalised or subjected to
disciplinary proceedings by the University.

7.2 Instructions for submitting assignments

ALL assignments must be submitted electronically via myUnisa and posted hardcopies
will be rejected. Remember to allocate exactly the same number to an assignment as
the one provided in Tutorial Letters 101, 102 and so forth. For example, even if
Assignment 02 is the first assignment that you submit for the year, you must still number
it 02 and not 01.
Please consult the brochure, Study @ Unisa, which you have received with your study
package for detailed information on assignments.

To submit an assignment via myUnisa, do the following:

• Go to myUnisa.
• Log in with your student number and password.
• Select the module.
• Click on “Assignments” in the left-hand menu.

14
 OTE2601/101/0/2023

• Click on the assignment number you want to submit.

• Follow the instructions on the screen.

7.3 Due dates

The closing dates for submitting assignments and their unique numbers are as follows:

Assignment 01: 15 MAY 2023

Unique number:

Assignment 02: 17 July 2023

Unique number:

You should be able to complete these assignments by consulting your study guide and
any other relevant sources.

7.4 Plagiarism

It is unethical (and unacceptable) to hand in assignments that are not your own work.
When the University becomes aware of such malpractices, it will take stern measures
against the student concerned. Although you may work together when preparing
assignments, each of you must write and submit your own individual assignment.

7.5 The role of assignments

Assignments are regarded as part of the learning material for this module. As you do
the assignments, study the reading texts, consult other resources, discuss the work with
fellow students or tutors or do research, you are actively engaged in learning. Looking
at the assessment criteria given for each assignment will help you understand more
clearly what is required of you.

15
7.6 General remark regarding assignments

When you make enquiries about an assignment, you must provide the course code
(OTE2601L) and the number of the assignment.

You will also find the above information on myUnisa.

7.7 Feedback on assignments

Markers will comment constructively on your written assignments. However, feedback

on compulsory assignments will be sent in a follow-up tutorial letter to all students
registered for this module and not only to those students who have submitted the
assignments. Such follow-up tutorial letters will be numbered 201, 202, and so forth.

As soon as you have received the feedback, please check it against your answers. The
assignments and the feedback on these assignments constitute an important part of your
learning and should help you to be prepared for the next assignment and the
examination.

7.8 Examination

Please study the brochure, Study @ Unisa, for general examination guidelines and
examination preparation guidelines. It will take you quite a while to complete your
assignments. Therefore, you should start with them in good time. The main part of the
examination paper is based on your study guide. You will undoubtedly benefit from
spending a considerable amount of time on your assignments.

16
 OTE2601/101/0/2023

7.9 Examination period

You are reminded that this is a year module. This means that, you will write the
examination in October/November 2023 and the supplementary examination in
May/June 2023.
During the semester, the Examination Section will provide you with information on the
examination in general, such as examination dates and times. There will be no venue-
based examination, instead it will be online.

7.10 How the examination system works

See the brochure, Study @ Unisa, which you have received with your study material for
general information and requirements as far as the examination is concerned.

7.11 Passing the module

Please note the following: You have to obtain a subminimum of 40% in the examination
to pass the module. If you obtain less than 40%, you will fail – irrespective of your
semester mark. For example, if you have 100% for your semester mark, but obtain 37%
in the examination, your final mark will be 37%. Should you obtain 40% or more in the
examination, the semester mark will count 20% towards your final mark, and the
examination 80%. In order to pass the module, you must obtain 50%, and to get a
distinction, you must achieve 75% or more.

7.12 Examination admission

You will be assessed on Assignments 01 and 02, which will contribute 20% towards your
final mark, while the examination will contribute 80% towards your final mark. In order to
qualify for the examination, you must submit Assignments 01 and 02 for which a mark
will be awarded.

17
 OTE2601/101/0/2023

7.13 Examination admission and the format of the examination paper

In order to prepare for the examination, you should submit all the assignments. You will be
admitted to the examination by submitting and passing Assignments 01 and 02.

7.14 Examination paper

The duration of the examination paper is three hours and the paper will count 100 marks. The
paper contributes 80% towards your final mark. The final results are, therefore, weighted in
favour of the examination, which is critical to your success in this module. Your examination
results and semester mark will be combined.

To prepare for the examination, you will have to study the study guide and the assignments.
No examination guidelines will be sent to students.

7.15 Previous examination papers

Please note: This is a new module, which does not have previous examination papers. We
advise you, however, not to focus on the assignments only, because the content of the
examination papers will change from year to year. You should accept that examination
questions might not be similar to the questions asked in the activities in your study guide.

8 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The brochure, Study @ Unisa, contains an A-Z guide of the most relevant information.

Questions relating to requests for additional time to complete an assignment

Answer: It is not possible to give more than one week’s extension. If you are compelled by
necessity to hand in one of the essay-type assignments late, you have to ask permission to
do so before the due date.
