You need to include a declaration of own work submitted, found in Tutorial Letter CMNALLE/301.
The inclusion of such a declaration is compulsory in respect of any work submitted to the Department of Communication Science,
We reserve the right to not mark assignments submitted without a declaration.

8. Table of Contents
The headings in your table of contents and in your assignment need to be done in accordance to the requirements as set out in Tutorial Letter CMNHONE/301. In this, remember that:
1 FIRST-LEVEL HEADINGS ARE IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND BOLD
1.1 Second-level headings are in lower case and bold
1.1.1 Third-level headings are in lower case, bold and italics

9. Introduction Assignment is an academic work and needs an introduction
An introduction is meant to introduce the assignment (as the name implies). In this you have to “tell” the reader what they are to expect from your assignment – what you will be focussing on.
Rule of Thumb: Write the introduction after writing the assignment.

10. Conclusion
It is meant to conclude and round off the assignment (as the name implies).
What you can do is to elaborate and make sure that you pull all aspects that you mentioned together offering a “wrapping up” and good close for the assignment.
