1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student,
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a transformation
charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this charter, we have also
placed curriculum transformation high on the agenda. For your information, curriculum
transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred scholarship, the pedagogical
renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and
the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These pillars and their principles will be
integrated at both the programme and module levels, as a phased-in approach. You will notice
the implementation in your modules, and we encourage you to fully embrace these changes
during your studies at Unisa.

Should you encounter any problems in submitting an assignment on myUnisa, you may
contact the help line at: [email protected]

Plagiarism
An assignment is designed to be a product of your own study and your own thought. It is not
intended to be a piece of work which merely reproduces details, information or ideas from a
study guide, from books or articles, or from the Internet.
If you do this, you commit plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of copying word for word with or
without acknowledgment from study sources (e.g. books, articles, the Internet). In other words,
you must submit your own ideas in your own words, sometimes interspersing relevant short
quotations that are properly referenced.

Yes, simply copying a few pages from the prescribed book is plagiarism. Pasting paragraphs
from Wikipedia into your assignment is plagiarism. And it does not stop being plagiarism if you
mention the source.
Skilled scientific writers can use direct block quotations to make a specific point. They know
what they are doing. You still need to develop your own voice, your own style of arguing the
point. Do not plagiarise.
Note that you also commit plagiarism if you copy the assignment of another student. We do
encourage you to work together and form study groups, but you are expected to prepare and
submit your own assignments.

7
When we receive two or more identical assignments, we are not able to work out who copied
from whom. We will therefore penalize both students.
If you commit plagiarism you will be penalized and given no marks for your assignment.
This will have a serious effect on your chances to succeed in your studies because you
will have no semester mark.
Furthermore, you may be penalised or subjected to disciplinary proceedings by the University.
Plagiarism is also an offence in terms of the law.

A Signed Declaration
Every essay-type assignment we receive must include the following declaration along with
your name and the date:

“I declare that this assignment is my own work and that all sources quoted
have been acknowledged by appropriate references”.

We will subtract marks if this declaration is absent from your assignment.

8.5 Assignments

• Do not attempt to do the assignment before you have studied your course material.
There is no sense in copying an answer from the textbook or study material, and you
do not understand the background. You get good marks for the assignment, and then
fail the examination because you think you know the work while it was just a verbatim
copy from the study material without any real understanding.

• Ensure you read each question properly, and answer all subsections of the question.

• Complete the assignment cover fully and CORRECTLY.

• Submission as per “my Studies@unisa”booklet

• You may do ALL the questions by means of any CAD programme, but keep in mind
that the examination will be with pencil on paper. It will be good to practice your
drawing with pencil.

• SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS PRINTED OR DRAWN ON A3 OR LARGER PAPER.

YOU MAY FOLD THE SHEETS TO FIT IN THE ASSIGNMENT COVER.

• DO NOT SUBMIT ROLLED SHEETS, IT WILL BE RETURNED UNMARKED!

SPECIFIC COMMENTS
1. In these assignments you are required to apply the techniques you have studied and
practised while working through the text book. Remember to always read and study with a
pencil in your hand; sketch and calculate while you study.

8
 DRW2601/101/3/2021

2. Please remember that all drawings are to be scaled. Notes and tables are to be complete
(or portions of) engineering drawings at tertiary level. They are to be completed to minimum
international standards.
3. All work is to be completed as "finished" civil engineering drawings in pencil; (no ball point
pens please), neat, complete, accurate, correct, well proportioned, neatly laid out and with
border lines 15 mm from the edges of all sheets. Always add essential dimensions.
4. All lettering (printing) are to be neatly and correctly formed, with uniform slopes (vertical
upper case (capitals) are recommended), only two guidelines are required, and they are
easier to master. Don't underline; for emphasis increase size or boldness.
5. Similarly, dimensions are to be neatly printed with correctly formed shapes within parallel
guidelines. Dimensions to be placed a minimum of 1 mm above dimension lines and are to
be "centred" wherever possible.

6. Add a note to drawings stating that "all dimensions are in mm", to avoid repetition of "mm".
7. Always add neatly arranged, descriptive titles, scales, other descriptions and annotations
(notes) where applicable.
8. The descriptions of views (plan, elevation, section, etc) to be centred or preferably left-
aligned below each view.
9. Check and re-check all questions and answers for correctness; completeness, neatness,
accuracy etc.
10. Take care with all your work and take pride in it.
11. If in doubt, add more information.
12. Show what you know and display your skills.
13. Drawing is time-consuming, and needs a lot of patience and practice. It is a very worthwhile
skill, which will always be yours, and will be at your fingertips for the rest of your life.
14. Keep practising; and good luck to you!
