Watch with a purpose: choose one question before you press play, pause to note one action, then return to the unit and check the current procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
Want to keep it light? Choose the one workshop that matches your topic on the Workshop recordings page.
|
|
Procedures can change between exam periods. If a recording and your current assessment instructions differ, follow the current instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure where to start? Ask Lwazi.
|
|
|
Chat with Lwazi, the Unisa AI study companion, right on the course page. Ask about what you will learn, then head into the units.
|
|
|
|
Low on data? Ask for “5 bullets + 1-line recap” to keep the answers concise.
Keep it private. Keep passwords, verification codes, your identity document and real exam questions out of the chat.
|
|
|
|
|
Curious first? Open the Ask Lwazi page and ask for a short overview.

Three good habits
|
| ■ |
Low on data? Use the course text first. Then watch only the recording that supports the topic you need. In Ask Lwazi, ask for “5 bullets + 1-line recap”. |
| ■ |
Keep personal details private. Do not share passwords, verification codes or your identity document. Do not share confidential exam material, real exam questions or answer scripts in the course or in unapproved external services. |
| ■ |
Check your own module first. Read your module’s current instructions, your exam timetable and your announcements before you rely on general guidance. If a recording and a current instruction differ, follow the current instruction. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Be ready. Be Confident. Succeed.
Take a little time now, so that on exam day you can focus more of your attention on answering the assessment.
Or jump straight to Workshop recordings or Ask Lwazi.
See you in the course!
