AUSTRALIAN ABORGINAL HISTROY
You will need to reference at least six quality secondary sources to achieve a passing grade. Use the relevant week or weeks in the course guide as a start.
You should aim for at least 50% of your secondary sources to be Indigenous-authored.
• Please include at least two primary sources in your bibliography. These must be in addition to, and not in place of, the secondary sources.
• You should have a central argument or thesis, which you support with the use of extensive research.
• Do not simply present information or tell a story: instead, you should offer critical analysis, informed by your reading.
• For a higher grade, you will need to show a broader level of research beyond the absolute minimum of six.
• Your secondary sources must be of a scholarly, academic quality, from a peer-reviewed journal or university-level book. Websites, dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspaper articles, government fact sheets, statistics etc do not count. If in doubt, ask!
• Remember, First Nations people, communities, knowledge, voices and histories should be your chief focus, not just the Europeans who had connection with them (even though Europeans often authored the historical record). Where possible, always seek out the Indigenous perspective, and read archives against the grain.
