Dear Student
Regarding your question:
Assignment 01 was marked, on the 17 May, and posted, in the same week, to all students, by the Assignment Section at Unisa. You can look at the web to see what your marks are.
Assignment 02 was received by our school, from the Assignment Section, during the second week of August. We marked it and posted it to all our students on 16 August. Please watch the post for your assignment, as well as the web for your marks.
Regarding the delay:
The year 2006 is probably one of the most challenging years in Unisa's existence. The realities of merging Technicon SA, Unisa and Vudec into the comprehensive mega-institution, the new Unisa with its more than 220 000 students, hit the administration and all their systems, including Registration, Production, Scheduling and Assignments, this year. The ripple effect of this situation with its huge delays in processing material of various kinds on the teaching departments is, to say the least, significant. Needless to say that the same is unfortunately also true for you, our student!
Our request is to bear with us this year. The University has appointed consultants to address and improve the situation. Our hope is that things will start improving and normalising towards the end of July 2006.
PLEASE NOTE: It is in your interest to continue with your study program as normal and as you had planned it at the beginning of the year. Please do so under all, even these, circumstances.
We can assure you that the examination admissions will be completed timeously, the examinations will take place as scheduled and academic standards will be maintained under all circumstances.
We would like to assure you that the School of Computing is doing its utmost to honour its tuition obligations.
Kind regards
