2GGH1501/001/3/2021 Dear Student ASSESSMENT CHANGES FOR THE 2021 ACADEMIC YEAR
Due to the ministerial request to extend the 2021 registration dates, Unisa had to amend both the semester dates and the assessment arrangements for the 2021 academic year. During 2021 we will have only one semester and only one tuition and assessment period.
The purpose of this TL001 is to inform you of the new assessment requirements for GGH1501 students registered during 2021 for the one semester period. Take note that students who registered for Semester 2 of 2021 will do the same assignments as a student registered for the first semester. Therefore, there is only one set of assignments. Please refer to the new due dates and the assignments themselves below.
1 Assignment due dates Take note of the following important due dates for both semesters: Event
Semester 1 & 2
Assignment 1 due date 28 April 2021 Assignment 2 due date 18 June 2021 Assignment 3 due date 02 August 2021
2 Study plan
It is important that you develop your own individualised study plan for GGH1501 to make sure that you have covered all the learning units by the end of the semester. Consider the number of weeks the semester consists of and the number of study units to be covered and keep in mind the due dates for assignments and the examinations. The new semester of 22 weeks is longer than a typical semester. It might, therefore, seem that you have more time than usual. However, you will also need to allocate time for your other modules. We, therefore, suggest the following study plan which you can adopt and use to plan your semester accordingly.
