Abstract
A teaching model is proposed, that can alleviate some of the difficulties experienced by students when introduced to the interpretation of field exposures of Pleistocene deposits. The tightly structured, although self‐paced, exercise encourages a logical step‐by‐step approach which enables the origin and environment of deposition of some seemingly complex exposures to be proposed. Experience with the model, and possible adaptations, are discussed.Keywords
