2017 Assignments
[Financial Accounting 2B – AFE3782]
Dear Student,
Welcome to the University of Namibia and to the Centre for Open, Distance and e-Learning (CODeL) in particular. We hope your studies will be rewarded with success. We kindly advise that you get all the relevant information and booklets available for distance students from your nearest UNAM centre (including the 2017 CODeL Letter to Distance Mode Students and the Online Assignment Submission Guide on Moodle). These documents will provide advice on how to approach your studies and will guide you through your study materials as well as providing useful administrative information in submitting assignments.
Study materials
Your study guide is essentially your “teacher/lecturer”. However, in addition you are required to visit the library to
consult prescribed books and recommended readings that are indicated in the study guide. You are also responsible to purchase any prescribed textbooks required for your respective courses/modules. Furthermore, you are strongly advised to follow the guidelines in the Online Assignment Submission Guide on Moodle.
Submission of assignments
It is very important to complete and submit a clean, clear and well-argued assignment for marking. Make sure that you have answered the questions correctly. It is the responsibility of you as a student to make sure that every page of the completed assignment is correctly numbered before submitting your assignment. From 2017, ALL assignments would be submitted through the Moodle Learning Management System. This is an online platform where you will access all your modules and related information such as course outline, course notes and other learning materials that your tutor may choose to share, as well as communicate with your tutors and with fellow students through forum discussions or other available communication tools. Moodle is accessible here: http://elearning.unam.edu.na (please refer to the 2017 CODeL Letter to Distance Mode Students). You should complete and submit all assignments on or before the given due date in the assignment letter if you wish to be admitted to the next examination. No hardcopies are allowed, all assignment are to be uploaded through Moodle.
Assignments should be submitted in PDF and Microsoft Word formats – only.
Make sure that you submit one assignment as one file/document. Do not create and upload several folders; do not zip the documents. Have 1 one document/file for 1 (ONE) entire assignment.
Assignments for modules with formulas can be handwritten, scanned in one document and uploaded on Moodle accordingly.
Make sure you submit a document that is readable and virus free.
Make sure you upload the right file with the relevant assignment content.
After submitting your assignment on Moodle do verify on the file you uploaded. Always try to submit your assignment few days before the due date, this will allow you to double-check all the needy-greedy.
NO LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE TOLERATED. NO LATE submission due to not adhering to the above advises or guidance WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Due Dates
All assignment due dates for 2017 are published on the cover of this letter. With the shift from manual to online assignment submission, due dates would be automated. This means that you would be required to submit your assignments on the due date set on your assignment before 11h59 PM. After the date has passed (i.e. 12h00AM the next day) the assignment submission will be disabled and you would no longer be able to submit your assignment.
Due to challenges with Internet connectivity and speed, large files may take too long to upload, which is a big risk if you submit a few minutes to the deadline. You are therefore strongly advised not to wait until the last minute to submit your assignments so that you can report potential challenges and avoid disappointments. If you were used to submitting late assignments through the portal, you are cordially cautioned that this would no longer be possible with automated due dates on Moodle.
Page 3 of 12 Plagiarism Control
It has been observed that some students copy information from the Internet and paste into their assignments without acknowledging the sources of the information. This is called plagiarism. A copy of the Policy on Plagiarism and Cheating has been provided to you through the UNAM website. Please note that plagiarism and copying and pasting would not be tolerated and shall result in your assignments declared null and void. All assignments submitted through Moodle would be checked for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software. You will receive a report on the overall overlapping of your assignment with the sources you have used. You are therefore strongly urged to acknowledge EVERY source that you use for your assignment by using the appropriate referencing style prescribed by your lecturers (APA Referencing guides are available freely online). Find one here: http://www.uofa.edu/docs/apa-documentation.pdf
Any assignment found with high overlapping scores or with evidence of clear attempts to cheat such as submitting an assignment that is not your own would result in serious consequences (please refer to the Policy on Plagiarism and Cheating provided).
