Students at South Africa’s biggest and oldest distance learning university, UNISA, have taken to the internet to share the burden of part-time studying with a dedicated UNISA forum at studybuddies.co.za. Allowing users to post questions (and answers) to subject-related material through the year, as well as going through past exam papers together and planning for new modules each semester, the message board brings UNISA’s tens of thousands of local and international students together with a single ambition in mind: better results and more enjoyable studying for all.
The Study Buddies forum launched just this morning, with a R500 textbook voucher on offer to new members. Have a look and get involved at http://www.studybuddies.co.za.
Patunia is a pat-of-all trades. She can cook like nobody's business one minute and spend the rest of the afternoon in the garden pruning roses or talking to birds the next. She loves living in Cape Town with her family, four dogs and two cats. And some goldfish. And those birds we mentioned earlier. Bottom line: she's not afraid of getting her hands dirty in the garden or with new technology, and this blog is where she spills the beans on her adventures and experiences along the way.
Welcome to Everything, a blog about living life in South Africa and everything that goes with it. The ups, the downs, the shops, the scenery, the opportunities, the technology, the frustrations, the people, the food, the experiences, the animals, the politics, the adventures, the entertainment and everything else in between.
