The following sites have material which deals with Alexander the Great and Hellenistic history, and may be useful for work in this Unit. However, it is important to remember the most basic rule of Internet research: due to the Information SuperHighway, misinformation can now spread faster than ever. In other words, do not believe everything you browse!
    Please also remember the University policy on plagiarism: if you use or quote material without giving a footnote reference (in this case a complete URL) you don't just fail: you get 0%for that assignment. This applies to the Internet just as much as to any other source. Always keep notes of where you find useful information!
    If any of the links on this page don't work or are out of date, or if you find another which you think is particularly useful, please tell me: email me at cforbes@hmn.mq.edu.au . You might also like to share new links with other students, by posting them on the Unit Discussion Forum, for which click here.
