Vuyo

If you have any last minute questions or concerns, please let me know here so i can help.

Dear All

A little advice as you prepare for tomorrow:

1. Provide a good theoretical base for all answers, you do not have to regurgitate the study guide as is (it is better to answer on your words).
2. Lecturers want to know that you understand the material so use examples to support your theory.
3. When given a scenario, make mention of the given company throughout your answer (really put yourself in the scenario and answer as though you were in it).
4. Read instructions carefully. When asked to discuss, discuss in order to get maximum marks.

I hope this helps :)

Good day!!
