Green); (8) "Over the Hills and Far Away: Retaining Field Study Experience Despite Larger Classes" (John R. Gold and Martin J. Haigh); (9)"Study Networks: Support Mechanisms for Large Groups of Part-Time Students" (Julie Hartley and Harinder Bahra); (10) "Thinking Strategically: A Subject Group's Attempts to Maintain Quality with Reduced Resources" (Frank Webster); (11) "Teaching Large Classes: The Institutional Perspective" (Clive Booth and David Watson); and (12) "Conclusion: Improving Teaching and Learning in Large Classes" (Graham Gibbs and Alan Jenkins).
