Dear Student
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a transformation
charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this charter, we have also
placed curriculum transformation high on the agenda. For your information, curriculum
transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred scholarship, the pedagogical
renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and
the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These pillars and their principles will be
integrated at both the programme and module levels, as a phased-in approach. You will notice
the implementation thereof in your modules, and we encourage you to fully embrace these
changes during your studies at Unisa.
1 INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULE
Welcome to the module Historical Foundations of South African Law (HFL1501), presented
by the Department of Jurisprudence. This is the third year that this module is presented
and it forms part of the updated 2018 LLB curriculum at Unisa. We are pleased to welcome
you to this module and hope that you will find it both interesting and rewarding. We will do
our best to make your study of this module successful and worthwhile. You will be well on
your way to success if you start early in the semester and work through the study guide
several times.
The most important information you need to be aware of right from the start is that this
module does not have a conventional venue-based examination, but rather a
portfolio examination. This means that you will not prepare for a two-hour written
exam, but that you will complete a portfolio examination (which is similar to an
assignment) in your own time. You will be completing this portfolio at home and without
the assistance of anyone else.
Submitting this portfolio late is the same as not attending the examination.
You will be regarded as being absent from the exam.
In this tutorial letter 101, you will find the assignments for both semesters, as well as the
instructions for the preparation and submission of the assignments. The portfolio-
examination questions are provided in Tutorial Letter 201, which will also be available
online on the HFL1501 myUnisa site (see the links for “Official study material” and
“Additional resources”) later in the semester. This means that you will have sufficient time
to work on your portfolio before the submission date.
The Department of Despatch should supply you with the following study material for this
module upon registration:
The study guide
Tutorial Letters 101 and 301
Later in the semester, you will receive the following study material:
Tutorial Letter 201, which contains the portfolio examination questions
Tutorial Letter 202, which contains feedback on the assignments
