    Abstract

    An attempt is made to examine the outcomes and perceived value of the use of group work in teaching and assessment in several modules in the School of Commerce and International Business Studies. Within this broad aim, several specific objectives are pursued: 1. students' attitudes to group work, 2. students' attitudes to peer and self assessment, 3. the development and use of skills involved in group work and assessment, and 4. the impact on group work of factors such as gender, entry qualification and year and level of study. Results confirmed the positive experience which a group setting provides for the participants.
