ENGL 4003 - Honours English Thesis

The Honours English Thesis provides an opportunity for students to undertake advanced level literary research in the discipline of English. The aim of the course is to enable students to explore a specialised literary topic of their own choice and to develop high-order research and writing skills appropriate to its study. Topics to be covered in the two-hour thesis writing workshop each week may include: advanced library research methods; the conventions of the research proposal, literature review, thesis argumentation and abstract in the discipline of English; key scholarly approaches to literary research and the assumptions that inform them. Students will also confer with their individual supervisors regularly across the semester.
