Essay Topics Guidelines

Make sure you have listened to the lectures relevant to the topic you have chosen and have read the ancient evidence for that topic.

Your essay must be based on both the ancient evidence and modern scholarship. In addition to the suggested readings given in the Study Guide, you are strongly advised to pursue further research. You may browse the Library's catalogue for relevant items and search the Library's databases (eg. JSTOR, Project Muse) for relevant journal articles. Click on ‘Databases' on the Library Homepage (https://www.lib.mq.edu.au), and then ‘Ancient History' for further information. Do not use general or encyclopedic style websites as sources. By ‘modern scholarship' we mean work published in academic journals or monographs. Do not copy text from an online source: you must write your own essay.

Note carefully that Turnitin will detect text copied from an online source or from an essay previously submitted.

Your essay must reference the ancient evidence and secondary literature thoroughly. Please refer to the Department of Ancient History's guide to referencing and essay presentation, available in the unit's website. You are also required to include a bibliography of all ancient and modern items consulted.
