This is a great resource for students to keep a record of their mandatory fieldwork so that they have a record to keep and then revise from ahead of exams. This can be adapted for human or physical fieldwork. Also included are blank summary sheets for both the human and physical fieldwork, through which students can summarise the information in the booklet into an even more concise record of their learning for that final revision push. I have additionally added a range of fieldwork-based questions into a further slide on this document as well.
