Walter Sisulu University Student Module Guide 5

 T. MRWEBI
Lecturer: Sport Management

The aim of this study module guide is to provide you with as much information as
possible at the beginning of the academic year. The Prospectus should also be
carefully studied.

For most of us, whether we recognize it or not, management plays a major role in our
daily sporting activities. Some form of management has predetermined almost all the
actions we perform on the sportsfield.

The purpose and rationale of a Diploma in Sport Management is to prepare you for a
career in the dynamic world of sport. This diploma will assist you to acquire the
correct management skills that will prepare you for your future careers, be they in
sport management, sport marketing or sport public relations.

The lecturers and coaches are committed to provide you with as much assistance and
support as possible, but ultimately your success will be determined by the effort YOU
put in. When you do not understand a concept in class, you should immediately
consult the lecturer as all new work depends on the understanding of what has already
been done.

We hope that you will be proud of being associated with the Sport Management
Department and that your years with us will prove not only successful, but also most
enjoyable.

8 Lecture Room Expectations

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all official classes punctually, as well as any special
lectures, excursions and projects arranged for their benefit. Late arrivals may be
refused admission to a lecture.

Leave of absence

Students must consult Mr Mrwebi well in advance (except in cases where

circumstances do not allow this) for leave of absence.

In instances where a student is to represent an official team, a letter from the relevant
sporting body confirming selection and participation is required, well in advance of the
student’s departure. A student may be required to submit assignments/write tests
prior to his/her departure, should these be scheduled during the time when the
student will be away. Failure to attend class tests, and examinations or failure to
submit assignments without the relevant permission will lead to the loss of those
marks.

Medical certificates should be handed to Mr Mrwebi when you return from illness or
injury.

It is the responsibility of the student to make up work lost during his/her absence.

Walter Sisulu University Student Module Guide 13

9 Rules for Online Engagement (Netiquette)

START ENSURING A HIGH DP FROM YOUR VERY FIRST TEST!!!

Year mark
The year mark is compiled from assignments and theoretical tests. There will be a
minimum of five during the course of the year. These are important facets of the
learning process and should be viewed as an integral part of the year’s academic work.
Tests and assignments are also a very important indication of the student’s progress.

Deadlines for assignments must be strictly adhered to.

Whenever you are absent from a test a valid medical certificate or other authorization
for the absenteeism must be handed to Mr Mrwebi on the day you return. You may be
required to have an oral or written test that will be set by Mr Mrwebi.
