1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Quantitative Research Methodology in Criminology module
(CMY3709). We hope that you will find it both interesting and rewarding.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
Tutorial letter 101 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 the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing
questions to your lecturers.
Please 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 instructions on
the preparation and submission of the assignments.
I have also included certain general and administrative information about this module. Please study
this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
Right from the start we need to emphasise that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive
during the semester immediately and carefully, as they contain important information. Please note
that students must visit the myUnisa website for CMY3709 on a regular basis to access the
latest announcements. All information relevant to the module is, however,, placed on the myUnisa
website and students should therefore never be in a position where they are not aware of any
announcements.
If you cannot access the myUnisa website from a personal computer, please visit an internet café,
library or post office where these facilities are available to the public. It will be students' own
responsibility to ensure that they are up to date with all the relevant announcements
regarding CMY3709 placed on the myUnisa website.
Tutorial matter
Some of this tutorial matter may not be available when you register. Tutorial matter that is not
available when you register, will be posted to you as soon as possible, but is also available on
myUnisa.
