You can access myUnisa at your regional office learner centre.
MODULE-SPECIFIC STUDY PLAN

To successfully prepare for submitting your assignments you have to work according to a time
table. Use the following table or draw up your own table to schedule your studies for this
subject.
Be realistic. You need to add additional factors like work, family commitments and rest. If you
do not schedule your play time you will feel guilty and stressed instead of relaxing.
Warning: Do not study selectively. To explain, do not take the assignment and try to find
similar questions in the study guides and only work through those questions.
Your textbook make use of Matlab as a tool to aid solutions of problems. For 2016 you will not
be expected to use the program. All calculations and solutions can be done by hand or ordinary
calculator.

ASSESSMENT
8.1
Assessment plan
Students must complete and submit three assignments. Assignment 1 gives you admission to
the examination. Your assignment marks will be used to calculate your year mark. Your year
mark will form part of your final mark for the subject. Your performance in your assignments
thus plays a vital part in your final mark.

Written assignment Linear algebra and Fourier series
Your final mark will be calculated as follows:

20% Year mark + 80% Examination mark
You need a final mark of 50% in order to pass the subject with a subminimum of 40% on your
examination mark. A subminimum of 40% means that if you receive less than 40% in the
exam you fail and in this case your year mark does not count.
Each unit in your study guides contains a self-test with solutions to help you prepare for the
compulsory assignments and the final examination.
8.2
General assignment numbers
You must submit assignment 01, 02 and 03 for the semester you are registered. Assignment
questions per semester are given in 8.4 below.

Warning:
Plan your programme so that study problems can be sorted out in time. No extension will
be given by the lecturer without valid reasons that can be verified. The dates on myUNISA
may differ from dates in your tutorial letter and messages from the university. You may confirm
dates with the lecturer if a message seems suspect.
8.3
Submission of assignments
For Mathematics III you have to send in three assignments to the university before the given
closing dates. You will not be permitted to write the examination if you do not send in an
assignment .
Submit the assignments linked to your registration period (semester 1 or 2).
Note: use the correct unique number, assignment number and module code.
8.3.1 Written assignments
The rules for assignments are:
- Please keep a copy of your answers.
- Submit answers in numerical order.
- Keep to the due dates.
Write your answers down in the correct order and make sure that every answer is numbered
clearly. Make sure that your answers are clear and unambiguous.
Do not string a series of numbers together without any indication of what you are calculating.
Be careful with the use of the equal sign (=). The correct units must be shown in you answer.
Note that we are not only interested in whether you can get the correct answer, but also in
whether you can formulate your thoughts correctly. Mere calculations are not good enough
you have to make sure that what you have written down consists of mathematically correct
notation, which makes sense to the marker.
Students must send in their own work. Of course, it is a good thing to discuss problems with
fellow students. However, where copying has clearly taken place disciplinary action will be
taken.
An information sheet containing the formulas is enclosed at the end of this letter for your
convenience. Keep this sheet at hand when completing your assignments. The same sheet
will be supplied during the examination. Consult this sheet regularly, it may mean the difference
between success and failure in this module. Make sure you know how to use the table of
integrals in reverse to find derivatives. You need not memorize all formulas and can check
10
MAT3700/101
memorized formulas.
You may submit written assignments either by post or electronically via myUnisa. Choose one
way to submit, do not use both. Assignments may not be submitted by fax, e-mail, registered
post or courier.
Assignments by post: Make sure that you complete the assignment cover. If the subject or
assignment number is incorrect your assignment can not be noted as received. Each
assignment must have a separate cover with the unique number. Submit one assignment per
envelope. All regional offices have Unisa post boxes. Only use the SA postal services if you
cannot get to a regional office or one of the drop-off boxes listed in my Studies @ Unisa 2016.
Assignments should be addressed to: The Registrar, PO Box 392, UNISA, 0003
To submit via myUnisa: You can scan your handwritten assignment answers to be submitted
electronically. Dont scan the assignment cover as the system will create a cover for you when
you upload the assignment. Your assignment must be combined in one document. Only one
document can be uploaded per assignment. Log in with your student number and password.

Marking and Feedback on Assignments
After you hand in your assignment it gets recorded by the department of student assessment.
The assignments are ordered by date and might be sent to external markers, depending on the
number of students that enrol. In theory the earlier you submit your assignment, the earlier you
will receive your marked assignment.
A selection of assignments marked by external markers will be checked by the lecturer to make
sure that the memorandum is followed and that all answers are marked consistently. After the
marks are recorded the assignment is returned to you.
When you receive the marked assignment please check that the marks are added correctly and
contact us as soon as possible if you find any mistakes.
For written assignments, markers will comment constructively on your work. Solutions to all
questions in the written assignments will be available on myUNISA three weeks after the due
date. You may request a copy of the assignment solutions by e-mail three weeks after the due
date. E-mails without a student number and module code will be deleted.
As soon as you have downloaded the commentaries and solutions, please check your answers.
The assignments and the commentaries on these assignments constitute an important part of
your learning and should help you to be better prepared for the next assignment and the
examination.
OTHER ASSESSMENT METHODS

There are no alternative assessment methods for this module.
