The table lists the learning opportunities you have to execute, and also indicates the sequence in which you have to com -plete these learning opportunities. In addition, the table indicates how much time is required to complete a particular learning OpportunityTaskTime(hours) how this course works to represent information in graphic to chart a field of to prepare a to develop a psychological to provide an expert opinion55 Please note:Do the learning opportunities in the indicated sequence, that is from 1 to 6.
3 These learning opportunities are the main tasks you have to complete for this module. They are self-study units designed to help you develop basic skills and apply your knowledge of psychology. They are comprehensive and require a substantial amount of time to complete. The study schedule provided here serves merely as a guideline, because each Student works differently, according to his or her individual situation. These learning opportunities refer to other learning opportunities (in Study Guide) and to relevant resource material (in the resource text A Z)). The other learning opportunities are designed to help you explore relevant fields of information to increase your knowledge of psychology.
4 Please do not submit these learning opportunities as assignments for evaluation. Assign-ments and a trial examination paper (self-test) are provided separately. The assignments can be submitted for evaluation. The trial examination paper is for self-evaluation purposes and provides an indication of the kind of questions you can expect in the examination.

5 The reason for studying this learning opportunity is to learn how this course works. In other words, through completing this learning opportunity you should gain knowledge of the design of this module as well as the instructional approach used in this module to teach psychology. StandardsThe outcome of a learning opportunity should adhere to particular standards. The outcome of this learning opportunity is your knowledge about the module s design and instructional ap -proach. Your knowledge about the module s design and instructional approach conforms to the required standards if your knowledge is relevant and criteriaYou have to use assessment criteria to determine whether you have achieved the required out -comes and whether your outcomes conform to the required standards.
6 Your knowledge of the module s design and instructional approach conforms to the required standards if you know enough (that is, if you have sufficient knowledge) about the module s design and instructional approach (that is, if your knowledge is relevant to the topic in question). Your knowledge is relevant and sufficient if:01 the nature of the components of the module is indicated 02 the nature of learning opportunities is indicated03 the nature of the learning process that is required in this module is indicated. 33 3 Learn how this course worksmETHOdTasksYou have to use a method to produce the outcomes required by the learning opportunity.
7 The method consists of one or more tasks. This learning opportunity has three tasks, namely to: indicate the nature of the module components indicate the nature of a learning opportunity indicate the nature of the module learning outcomesThe outcomes of the learning opportunity are broken down into more specific task outcomes. The task outcomes are achieved by carrying out appropriate resourcesEach task lists the resources required for the task s are able to indicate the components of the module if you:01 recognise the various module components02 recognise the nature of each component03 recognise the links between 1 Note the following abbreviations:SG for study guideLO for learning opportunityA Z for the prescribed resource text1.
