I am UNISA Bcom alumni, and I can say that UNISA is a (probably one of South Africa's biggest) business (es), which has got nothing to do with education. The study guides I got were all from the 90's, the content was utter rubbish, the assignments were all multiple choice (meaning no physical marking, but a machine could mark), and the subjects were chopped up into 6 month modules with less volume to make it lower level education to boost pass rates... to boost revenue:). 70% of my subjects were a photocopy of past papers, so if you got hold of past papers, that meant a distinction in the subject... PS: How can they complain about the volume of assignments?! They were all multiple choice?!? And I could never, ever, ever get hold of anyone. E-mails to lecturers were never ever answered. (compare that to UJ, who's lecturers respond sometimes within minutes. One UJ lecturer replied to me on a SUNDAY EVENING!)
