Term Essay Guide

 

Please send me a Title for the topic that you will write about in your Term Essay as soon as possible so that I can approve it
(Your can change your term essay topic and its title later if you find the one approved does not allow you to find a good selection of references).

Your first task is to assemble a bibliography. This should be completed before half way through the term.

Create entries in alphabetical order, each with its own unique bookmark. Make links to on-line texts whenever possible.

Examples of the format that you should follow. Note: Include after the abbreviated journal name the full name in [] and put a translation of foreign title in []
