*These resources provide tips for writing, organizing, and editing your thesis. While they provide helpful information, they should not be used as the primary source for constructing your thesis. Instead, consult the TAMU resources and the Honors Programs Office for specific guidelines on preparing and submitting your thesis.

**These resources link to pages developed for the students taking English 301 Honors in order to help them complete the 301 assignments. Some of the information is not directly applicable to your Research Fellows thesis, although you should find most of the information useful.
