Goulder, Ray; Scott, Graham W.
Bioscience Education, v16 Article c1 Dec 2010
This communication reports how bioscience students are encouraged to benefit from city and regional community-based resources through use of a guidebook and student-managed learning. Positive outcomes of the module are that bioscience students take their learning experience beyond the classroom, they engage with wider community resources, and they introduce educational, ethical, economic and political dimensions to their studies. (Contains 2 tables.)
