The flexibility of setting up your own study guide can be daunting for first-year students who are used to going to school and sitting in a classroom five days a week. Primrose, a lady on TikTok, has provided tips to all first years on how to survive life at UNISA:

"Do not submit your assignments before the due date."

Primrose started by sharing that one should never submit their work early. The system always crashes due to many people visiting the portal, and you can lose your assignments. Double or even triple-check the modules you registered for before going on with the school year.

The lady listed essential apps to download for a smooth learning experience:

  • Microsoft Word 
  • Outlook 
  • Teams
  • Microsoft Office 
  • Moodle

Primrose also shared that assignments can be written or typed but should always be submitted in PDF form. A proper timetable for due dates and classes is essential.
