English Department Student Research Essays |
The University of Botswana English Department has a fourth-year course that allows students to develop a research topic and write an extended essay about it. The students choose their topic with guidance from the course co-ordinator, Dr. Leloba Molema, and work on it throughout the year. The completed essays are then bound and deposited in the University Library. The following is a partial list of student essays from recent years. The list is currently being updated.
The University Library catalogue can be accessed at http://medupe.ub.bw.
