Abstract
A  common  problem  encountered  in  working  with  large  classes  is  the
difficulty of providing sufficient support and assistance to allow the students
to develop both the skills and the confidence required for them to car
r
y out
original research.
This paper reports on the use of group work with limited
guidance to facilitate small-scale research.
While one area of geography is
used  in  the  example
,
the  method  is  applicable  to  a  wide  variety  of  other
subject areas, both within geography and more widely.
