This one is AMAZING for a starting point for all the topics. It is really student friendly so allows them independence and it is a refreshing read. A lot of new stuff as well as going through the fundamentals.

Description

A practical step by step handbook to support each student as they prepare for, plan, execute their independent fieldwork investigation, and write up and submit their report.

Clear advice on:

  • selecting appropriate methods of data presentation and analysis, including advice on how to code interviews and choose suitable statistical tests that match the data that the student has collected

  • writing up the final report, including advice on structuring the report, writing analytically, providing effective evaluation, reaching evidenced conclusions, and creating accurate references.

This handbook provides a clear pathway through the decision-making process providing:

  • practical examples of how to investigate geographical concepts, processes, and issues through fieldwork in a variety of human and physical contexts

  • strengths and limitations of key fieldwork techniques including the potential role of pilot surveys, control experiments, and various sampling strategies
