1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
We welcome you to the Honours module in Developmental Psychology (PYC4805). This module has been designed according to the academic standard of the university and also to suit your personal needs – you may, therefore, choose between studying either child development or adult development. We trust that you will find the section you choose to study, informative and interesting as well as personally enriching.
A number of tutorial letters will be made available during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment. Tutorial Letter 101/2018 contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study material, preparing assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your lecturers. This tutorial letter also provides all the information you need with regard to the prescribed study material. Please make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible.
It is suggested that you read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with Tutorial Letter 101 as it gives you an idea of generally important information when studying at a distance and within a particular College. In Tutorial Letter 101, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as information on the preparation and submission of assignments. You will also find important information about the examination in this tutorial letter.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive during the year carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes, urgent information. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries regarding the course or if you need assistance with regard to any aspect of the module.
Best wishes for a successful and enriching year of study.
