INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
Dear Student
We hope that you have enjoyed your studies in Organisational Communication so far.
This tutorial letter specifically focuses on preparing you for the April 2015 examination portfolio.
You will receive this tutorial letter before you have received tutorial letter 201 (providing feedback
on assignments). Do not be alarmed. The reason why we send out this tutorial letter now is to
make sure that you have enough time to prepare for, and execute your portfolio.
Should you receive a supplementary, aegrotat, deferred, or any other examination, other than the
one directly ahead, please contact the lecturers to find out about any changes to the portfolio
examination that you would have to submit.
Read through this tutorial letter completely before you attempt or finalise your portfolio. You might
also have a look at the section in Tutorial Letter CMNALLE/301 that deals with portfolio
examinations.
