ENGL 4101B - Honours English Thesis B

The Honours English Thesis provides an opportunity 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 each week across the semester.
