This is a very useful guide for university students, especially undergraduates. It is simply written and contains humorous comics, and covers a wide range topics including how to structure an essay and complete a bibliography / reference list. Although the book does touch on thesis writing, it really does not provide much information for those at the masters / PhD level, and perhaps will not even give enough support to an honours student.
