Honours: Resources

This page has been created as there aren't any general resources online that are referenced to for help with the various techniques and writings that honours students need to learn and study.

Writing/Reading

Celts printable resources
These resources are accessed with student login name and authcate password. They are very similar (same?) to the handouts in CSE417.
Two of the more applicable references are:
- Introduction to Research Writing: Reviewing the Literature For postgraduates and honours students.
- A Guide to Analysing Sample Theses For new postgraduates.
- Referencing and Integrating Sources
- Style and Editing A guide and exercises on style and editing longer documents.
The Monash University Virtual Librarian has several tutorials and help pages available
