context. You are expected to identify precisely what information applies, and then explain
why you think so.
12 Also, because you have the guide available when answering questions, we do not give
marks for direct quotations from the guide. You are therefore assessed on your level of
understanding of the legal principles by looking at how well you applied the principles to
the questions.
12 PLEASE DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM THE STUDY GUIDE (OR ANY
OTHER SOURCE).
12 The arguments that you make must be logical, well-structured and substantiated by all of
the relevant legal principles. Use the time given wisely.
12 Ensure that you give reasons for each answer. Substantiate your answers by referring to
ALL of the relevant authorities, e. sections from relevant legislation and/or court cases
in the text or in your footnotes.
12 A number of students lose marks because they do not approach problem-type questions
correctly. When answering such questions, it is important to first clarify for yourself the
area of work where the answer must be sought. Once you have done this, set out the
relevant legal principles. Deal only with those principles that relate to the given facts. Next,
apply these principles to the facts. This is where most of the students lose marks - they
set out the law in some detail, but then do not illustrate how it applies to the factual situation
they have been asked to solve. Finally, state your conclusion.
13. You must complete the online declaration of own work when submitting.
13 By ticking the Honesty Declaration, you confirm that you have read (i) the
University’s Policy on Copyright Infringement and Plagiarism and the Student Disciplinary
Code, which are both available on myUnisa: unisa.ac/unisarules, and (ii) the
information relating to student values and plagiarism that is found at
unisa.ac/sites/myunisa/default/Study-@-Unisa/Student-values-and-rules.
13 Students suspected of dishonest conduct during the examinations will be subjected to
disciplinary processes. Students may not communicate with other students, or request
assistance from other students during examinations. Plagiarism is a violation of academic
integrity, and students who do plagiarise or copy verbatim from published work will be in
violation of the Policy on Academic Integrity and the Student Disciplinary Code and may
be referred to disciplinary hearing. Unisa has a zero tolerance for plagiarism and/or any
other forms of academic dishonesty.
May/June 2023
13 Unless a student is exempted because of disability or incarceration, students who have
not utilised invigilation or proctoring tools will be deemed to have transgressed Unisa’s
examination rules and will have their marks withheld.
