Reflection is a very important part of learning and gaining understanding. At university level, we will expect of our students to start using critical thinking skills, one of which is reflecting on what you have learnt and another is to honestly assess what you still do not understand.

In order to answer this question, you need to write a post on your own learning of this learning unit. Here is some questions that could guide you with writing your answer:

1. What did you learn in learning unit 1?

2. What aspects of learning unit 1 did you struggle with?

3. Are there any content that you did not agree with?

4. Are there anything that you would have presented/explained differently?

5. Are there any examples from your own life that relates to some of the content we explained? (Think about opening your own business, managing your bursary or NASFAS funding etc.)

Please match the user of financial information to the reason they need financial information.

To pass the module you need to obtain a final mark of 50 for the 5 assessments and the examination. The 5 assessments are divided into 4 mandatory assessments and 1 elective assessment. The final mark is calculated by using the assessments 1, 2 and 3 marks and the highest mark between the mandatory assessments and the corresponding elective assessment. These assessments contribute 45% to your final mark and your examination contribute 55%.

If these are the marks obtained by a student, what is the year mark for the student? 

No decimal places and fill in the value only (leave out the % sign).

The total marks for an assessment are always equal to the number of questions.

Note, you will lose 50% of the mark for this question if you choose the incorrect option.

Since the course makes use of an alternative assessment method you will write a venue-based exam at the end of the semester.

If you obtained 50% for Assessment 4 and 70% for Assessment 5, only the 70% obtained for Assessment 5 will be used in the calculation of your year-mark.

Assessment 2 will be available on the module website on ___ August 2025.

If you open an assessment, but do not answer any of the questions and the system automatically submit your attempt, you will receive zero (0) marks for the attempt.

Note, you will lose 50% of the mark for this question if you choose the incorrect option. If you are not sure about the answer and do not want to guess, choose the "Unsure" option. You will neither receive marks for the question nor will you loose marks for choosing this option.
