Abstract
Dutch geography degree courses like those in Britain are committed to fieldwork, which is now usually based on student data collection exercises. Some issues raised by such exercises are considered. The accuracy of the data collected by students was monitored in a study of commercial activities in Perpignan in 1981–2 with data available from official lists. The causes of error, and some lessons relevant to future fieldwork, are examined.Keywords
