MyUNISA and compulsory assignment

Dear PMP301P students

Just to remind you that there is a Discussion forum on myUNISA for your perusal! Please visit myUNISA (remember to register) so that we can start our discussions. Remember to start building your Portfolio timely and that the submission date for the compulsory assignment is 1 May 2009. Without submitting this assignment you will not be partaking in the exam process for this module, thus your Portfolio will not be graded.

Have a lovely day!

How do I know if I will receive adequate exposure?

I would suggest that you investigate the learning outcomes in the logbook to determine if you will be able to provide proof that you got exposure to those. You will be assessed on the basis of these outcomes. Often, you will be able to receive adequate exposure in the section where you are working.

There is a student working at the Department of Health involved in the "2010" Directorate. Looking at the learning outcomes, I am sure that her section will have policies, be able to identify problems that can be solved for better service delivery. The directorate will have to purchase items, follow procedures, gather information etc. It is important that you check the learning outcomes to determine your exposure!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional enquiries. Remember that you Portfolio must provide proof of what you have been doing. Please also visit myUNISA and visit the discussion forum.
Happy Portfolio building!

Welcome 2009

Dear students

Welcome to the New Year!!! I hope you are looking forward to all the challenges that 2009 will bring. Just a few comments on the 2008 portfolios:

-Congratulations to those of you that passed-especially those with the distinctions.
- Those of you who need to re-register:better luck this time!

I bet you are wondering why those that passed manged to do so (in fact, we had 2 90% candidates!). Well, the answer is easy. Remember that you are sending us a Portfolio of EVIDENCE-that is the key. You need to provide proof of what you have been doing. just sending us a job description, CV and copies of the course certificates you have done is NOT adequate. That will not earn you more than 20%.

It is so important for you to check the learning outcomes/objectives and monitor that you are achieving them AND to include proof of these outcomes in your Portfolio. I think of a Portfolio as a "brag" book-where you showcase what you have achieved by providing proof.

Please also have a look at previous postings and listen to the podcast of Dr Groenewald.

I will chat to you here and remember that we will also meet on myUNISA-remember to register.

Have a wonderful January!

The end is near

Dear students

We have marked your portfolios and the results should be available soon. I will post some thoughts on the portfolios during this week, so "watch this space"!
