REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSIGNMENTS: OFF-CAMPUS

You will find the assignments in the Tutorial Notes Booklet sent with your study material.

NUMBER OF ASSIGNMENTS In most modules only one assignment is required, however when more than one assignment is required, you need to submit the assignments at the same time with one assignment cover sheet.

PORTFOLIOS When a portfolio is required of you, you need to complete all the questions/assignments that are required and hand it in with a portfolio cover as one complete portfolio document. Please do not send incomplete portfolios.

VERY IMPORTANT

• Late assignments will not be marked until the following semester. Consequently, you will not obtain proof of participation and your examination answer script will not be marked. You will then have to re-write the exam in such a module after obtaining the required proof of participation and participation mark.

• Keep all assignments that have been marked in a safe place until your examination results have been verified – in a dispute no changes can be made without proof!

• The assignment(s) must reach the Off-campus Office on or before the specified due date. Leave enough time for slow postal delivery.

• PLEASE keep a COPY of all assignments when sending them by post!

• When a group works together on an assignment, it is imperative that each student still presents his/her own work. In the event of identical assignments, each member of the group runs the risk of receiving 0% (zero) for the assignment! You have to show proof of individual research.

• Make sure that your handwriting is neat and legible or that the assignment is typed, if possible.

• State clearly and correctly on the front page of EACH assignment the following: o student number, name and surname, ID number and correct postal address; o module and module code and learning programme (course, e.g. ACE) o your cell phone number in case of emergency.

• Staple your cover onto your assignment and submit this to the Off-campus office for marking – do not staple assignments of different modules together - they will then be regarded as ONE assignment.

• Number each page of the assignment, and write your name, student number and module code on every page of your assignment.

• Write on one side of the page only.

• Each question answered must have a heading.

• During the evaluation of assignments attention is paid to the following: o Correct referencing of sources used. o Reference list/bibliography. o Practical examples which will demonstrate that you can apply your theoretical knowledge.

8

o Presentation of information from sources in your own words – do not quote directly from the study material.

o Keeping to the topic of the assignment / instruction, i.e. relevance to the topic. o Lay-out and neatness.

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING ASSIGNMENTS

The prescriptions set out in the following few paragraphs serve as a guide when writing assignments: Plan your assignment beforehand

• Study the topic thoroughly before attempting to do the assignment.

• Make sure that you know what is expected before you start writing.

• Use your own words.

• Make sure that you answer the question. The structure of the assignment The assignment should form a logically structured unit consisting of:

• An introduction;

• Statement of the problem and how you intend to address it;

• Explanation of your own method of approach;

• Sources of authors cited correctly. Do not insert unnecessary quotes, since they only disturb the line of argumentation; and

• A conclusion summarising the main points.

Technical aspects

• Use the supplied assignment cover and indicate your name and surname, student number, address, course name, module name, and the number of the assignment.

• Include a table of contents.

• Proof-read your assignment thoroughly.

• Number your headings and subheadings, and leave open lines between different sections of the answer.

• Make sure of the assignment’s required length.

• Source-references must be included in the following style: “… as occurs in the majority of cases” (Clinton, 1993: 56).

• Include an alphabetically arranged reference list of all the sources that you have consulted at the end of the assignment. These sources are presented in the following fashion: Robinson, S.A. 1991. The recreation of creation. Cape Town: Peterson. (First the surname of the author, then his initials, then the year of publication, the title, its place of publication, and finally the publisher). Articles from scientific journals are indicated as follows: Robinson, S.A. 1991. The creation regained. Journal of Education , 13(3): 56 – 66, July (first the surname of the author(s), then his initials, then the year of publication, the title of the article, then the journal in italics or underlined, then the volume and number in the volume between brackets, the specific page-numbers after the colon, and finally the month in which the number appeared). Try in all cases to be precise in punctuation (full stops, commas, brackets, colons and so forth).

CANCELLATIONS

If due to unforeseen circumstances a student cannot continue his/her studies, a letter of termination must be sent to the Off-campus Office. The student is, however still responsible for the outstanding fees for that specific semester. Please contact Ms Kitty Jacobs at 018 299 4050 for details of your account.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

It is important to inform the Off-campus Office of any change of address or contact number. Valuable information regarding your studies will be lost if we do not have this information.

TUITION FEES

Learners are responsible for all financial expenses with regard to the termination of studies. No examination results will be posted before the financial obligations have been met.

It is the learner’s responsibility to see to it that the payment conditions (as outlined in the booklet for fees payable) are met regardless of whether he/she is being financed by means of a bursary or a loan. Should a learner fall behind with the payment of his/her account, regardless of whether he/she has made an arrangement with the University, the University will charge interest on the past due account at 4% above the prime lending rate of the University’s official bankers.

Accounts are sent to the student. No accounts are sent directly to bursary-granting institutions.

The University has the right to make any enquiries it deems necessary to evaluate a learner’s application for credit. Should credit be granted, the University reserves the right to place information with regard to defaulting on the payment of a learner account on record with (a) the credit bureau.

All money due to the University following the handing over to the University’s lawyers can only be paid directly to the lawyer. The University will not receive any payments in respect of accounts already handed over to the University’s lawyers. In cases where accounts have already been handed over, the debtor remains liable for all collection costs incurred.

Should a learner fail to comply with the conditions of payments the University will be entitled at its sole discretion to hand over for collection any outstanding amounts claimable to the attorneys of the latter. In such an instance the learner undertakes to pay any costs whatsoever due and payable, including tracing fees, lawyers’ fees and any other expenses of whatever nature on an attorney and own client scale. Any moneys paid by the student will first be used to cover the aforementioned expenses, then to settle interest, and only after that to settle any capital that is owed.

No credit on the University’s account will be paid out in cash. R15, 00 will be levied by the University for every cheque issued.

PLEASE NOTE: A BOOKLET OF ALL PAYABLE FEES PER SUBJECT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE OFF-CAMPUS OFFICE.

Also available on the Internet: http://www.nwu.ac.za

* Fees payable will be determined by the chosen modules and will differ according to the modules selected. A price list of ACE specializations is attached to the prospectus.

13

POLICY REGARDING PAYMENT OF FEES

1. Any unsettled balances after the initial minimum payment should be paid as follows:

• Module fees for the first semester are payable in three instalments from February to April.

• Module fees for the second semester are payable in three instalments from May to July.

2. A learner who cannot comply with the above arrangements must make arrangements about payment in advance with the Senior Accountant (or Mrs Kitty Jacobs 018 299 4050) under the provision that the final payment is 30 August. Should the money NOT be paid on the determined dates, or at the times determined, the University can resort drastic measures such as the non-issue of examination results, diploma and degree certificates.

3. It is the learner’s responsibility to see to it that the payment conditions are met regardless of whether he/she is being financed by means of his/her bursary or loan. Should a learner fall behind with the payment of his/her account, regardless of whether he/she has made an arrangement with the University, the University will charge interest on past due amounts at 4% above the prime lending rate of the University’s official bankers.
