Honours coordinators have copies of previous theses which are available for consultation. Students are advised to write up their work throughout the year and are encouraged to submit draft chapters to their supervisors in good time. The supervisor will then read the draft carefully and make appropriate suggestions to the student. The first draft may need substantial rewriting before it is acceptable. Students are required to submit three copies of their thesis, typed and in a protective binder or cover.
Students are responsible for the production of their theses.
Another option is to have the typing done by a professional typist. Some of the secretarial staff in the School are prepared to type theses for payment outside normal working hours. A Department may allocate some of the exposition mark to the seminar. Each thesis is normally marked by three members of the Department, but all members of the Department are invited to read it and comment upon it. After assessment, one copy is retained by the Department, one is offered to the supervisor and one is returned to the student.
