SSL2601 FIRST SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT 02

FIRST SEMESTER: ASSIGNMENT 02

UNIQUE NUMBER: 854640
DUE DATE: 13 APRIL 2023

Take note of the following:

Submission of the first compulsory assignment gave you admission to the examination
and will contribute 10% to your final marks. The marks you obtain for the second
compulsory assignment, will contribute another 10% to your final marks. The examination
will then contribute 80% towards your final marks.
Consequently, students who only submitted the first compulsory assignment will have
admission to the examination but will lose the opportunity of adding the marks to be
obtained for the second compulsory assignment to their final marks. They will
nevertheless be admitted to the examination.
The marks obtained for the assignments will - provided you obtain an examination mark
of at least 40% - count 20% of your final mark. YOU NEED TO OBTAIN A SUBMINIMUM
OF 40% IN THE EXAMINATION BEFORE YOUR YEAR MARK WILL BE TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT.
