    6 STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES FOR FAC3704 Important information appears in your myStudies@Unisa publication.

    6.1 Tutor assistance

    A tutor is a qualified professional appointed by the university to assist and support students in their journey to the successful completion of their qualifications.

    Effective tutor assistance helps you to: • take responsibility for your own learning; • develop analytical skills; • develop skills in teamwork and cooperative learning; and • develop listening, communication, presentation and debating skills.

    Types of tutor assistance • Face-to-face tutoring • E-tutor support

    6.1.1 Face-to-face tutor support

    A face-to-face tutorial is an organised session where students and tutors meet regularly at a common venue and at scheduled times to discuss and solve problems with the contents of their study material e.g. principles, suggested solutions etc. A face-to-face tutorial has a number of advantages, namely: • It provides you with great opportunities to interact with your tutors and other students and get a

    better understanding of the course content; • It encourages you to actively participate in the tutorial sessions; and • It helps you to build relationships with other students.

    What is the role of learners in face-to-face tutorials? If students want to benefit from tutorials, they must participate effectively by meeting the following requirements: • prepare adequately for tutorials; • attend regularly and be punctual; • encourage fellow students to attend tutorials regularly; and • cooperate with tutors.

    Where can I go to if I want to attend face to face tutorials? Tutorials are available at Unisa Regional Learning Centres throughout the country. Please visit the myUnisa website under “Additional Resources” for contact details of the centre nearest to you. You can contact the regional centre to find out if there are tutorials at that specific centre for this module.

    How to join face-to-face tutorial:

    • At the Unisa regional learning centre, a tutorial officer will help you to complete the Tutorial enrolment form.

    • Tutorials take place weekday evenings and Saturday mornings – look for the tutorials of your modules on the timetable at the centre notice boards or on the Unisa regional website.

    • You will be notified through SMS about the starting date of your tutorial sessions. • Tutorials are free of charge.

  • 10

    6.1.2 E-tutor support

    E-tutoring is an organised session where students and e-tutors interact regularly, online. The teaching and learning platform is myUnisa. Tools such as online discussion forums are used to facilitate teaching and learning.

    E-tutoring has a number of advantages:

    • The use of the myUnisa platform provides you with an opportunity to interact with your e- tutor and fellow students online, using the various tools available.

    • Your e-tutor is accessible for longer periods compared to face-to-face tutors, each day of the week.

    • It helps to develop technical skills required for an online environment.

    You will be allocated an e-tutor for each module you have registered for, provided the module has e-tutoring. You will then be notified by sms about the details of your e-tutor as soon as you have been allocated one. Your e-tutor will contact you on your mylife e-mail with details of the tutorials. Most Unisa learning centres have computer lab facilities from where you can access myUnisa. Alternatively, you will need a device with internet connection, e.g. laptop, tablet/iPad, smartphone, etc.

    A group of 200 students is linked to one e-tutor. Students in a group are able to interact and learn from one another. Each group has their own separate site on myUnisa. These sites are numbered and you will receive your group number by email and SMS. Don’t be confused! You will now have two sites for those modules with online tutoring, i.e. the main module site and the group module site.

    In the main module site you will find the official study material files that you can download. You should also submit your assignments here. The primary lecturer of the module may from time to time communicate with the entire class through this site.

    The group module site is where you can interact with your tutor and other group members. You can also participate in discussions, post academic-related queries and receive specific tutor support.

    6.2 Contact with fellow students

    6.2.1 Study groups

    Many students have found that they benefit from joining a study group consisting of students that are enrolled for the same module(s). It is advisable to have contact with fellow students. One way to do this is to form study groups. The addresses of students in your area may be obtained from the following department:

    Directorate: Student Administration and Registration PO Box 392 UNISA 0003

    6.2.2 myUnisa

    If you have access to a computer that is linked to the internet, you can quickly access resources and information at the university. The myUnisa learning management system is Unisa's online campus that will help you to communicate with your lecturers, with other students and with the administrative departments of Unisa – all through the computer and the internet.

    To go to the myUnisa website, start at the main Unisa website, http://www.unisa.ac.za, and then click on the “Login to myUnisa” link on the right-hand side of the screen. This should take you to the myUnisa website. You can also go there directly by typing in http://my.unisa.ac.za.

    7 STUDY PLAN FOR FAC3704 7.1 Study programme

    Use your myStudies@Unisa publication for general time management and planning skills. Experience has shown that students often fail to plan their studies properly so as to achieve specific study goals at predetermined dates. This leads to a haphazard approach to their studies and the use of ineffective study techniques. We assume the following:

    Studies should commence in January (first semester) and July (second semester) and that the full module should be completed by approximately the end of April (first semester) and September (second semester). This will leave sufficient time for revision.

    NB: Those of you who register late should endeavour to put in extra effort in order to make up the lost time.

    The table that follows can be used as a guideline on how to plan your studies for FAC3704. SEMESTER 1

    The following table is a suggested study programme for completing the syllabus of this module:

    Please do not fall behind with your study programme. Regaining of lost time is seldom achieved.

    7.2 Suggested study approach

    Firstly work through the relevant sections of tutorial letter MO 001 pertaining to the assignment to be attempted. Ensure that you understand the work and do the examples on your own, without looking at the answers. Compare your answer to the one in the learning unit and pinpoint where you made mistakes. Restudy the relevant section and ensure that you now understand the solution to the example. If you still do not understand, write the page reference and the problem on your “queries list” so that you can send an e-mail to your lecturers or phone them for an explanation. Only hereafter should you attempt answering the assignment questions under examination conditions.

    The assignment must in effect constitute your first revision of the study material which you have studied. In other words, the assignment should not serve as a checklist of the work required to be studied for the completion of the assignment, but should, when the assignment is attempted, serve as a test of the knowledge that you have acquired by studying the work.

    As the suggested solution for the assignments becomes available, compare your attempt to the solution and identify the differences. In respect of every error, determine why the error was made i.e. careless reading of the question, lack of knowledge, question not answered, carelessness in the answering of the question, unable to complete the question due to time, calculations not shown, etc. You have now

  • 14

    revised the work for a second time and you have been exposed to the type of errors that you are prone to make and can therefore work on correcting them.

    If you persevere with this proposed approach to studying this module, you will reap the benefit of sustained practice in answering questions and will enjoy success in the examination.

    8 PRACTICAL WORK AND WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING FOR FAC3704

    There is no practical work for this module.

    9 ASSESSMENT 9.1 Assessment plan

    The Management of the University has taken a decision to introduce compulsory assignments to be submitted in all modules by set due dates. Submission of compulsory assignment 01 by its due date will give a student admission to the examination in the particular module and the marks obtained for both compulsory assignments 01 and 02 will contribute towards the final mark for that module.

    Please note: Compulsory Assignment 01 and Compulsory Assignment 02 will contribute 20% towards your final mark. The assignment questions for the first and second semester are different and the assignments have different unique numbers.

    A final mark of 50% is required to pass this module. This final mark is calculated as follows: (20% x mark obtained for both compulsory assignments) + (80% x mark obtained in the examination)

    The 20% mark for both compulsory assignments in semester 1 and semester 2 is made up as follow:

    • Compulsory Assignment 01 contribution – 5% out of the 20% • Compulsory Assignment 02 contribution – 15% out of the 20%

    Example on how to calculate your year mark:

    Assignment 01

    mark/result

    = A

    Assignment 01

    contribution of year mark A x 5%/20%

    = A1

    Assignment 02

    mark/result

    = B

    Assignment 02

    contribution of year mark B x 15%/20%

    = B1

    Assignments year mark A1 + B1

    = C

    Student 1 100% 25% 100% 75% 100% Student 2 49% 12% 77% 58% 70% Student 3 100% 25% 33% 25% 50% Student 4 28% 7% 30% 23% 30% Student 5 0% 0% 27% 20% 20% Student 6 10% 3% 9% 7% 10%

Please refer to section 9.2.2 of this tutorial letter for the respective due dates. Sub minimum requirements A sub minimum of 40% in the examination is required. Paragraph 5.4 of the Assessment Policy provides that the final mark of a student is a combination of the year mark and the examination mark, in the ratio as explained above. In case where a student does not obtain the required sub minimum of 40% in the examination, the year mark does not count. The final mark then is the examination mark obtained. Result of supplementary examination: In terms of paragraph 5.7 of the Assessment Policy, the year mark which was previously obtained (i.e the assignment marks obtained in the semester the student was initially registered), will contribute to the final mark of students writing supplementary examinations.
