Abstract
In this paper the use of group work as one approach to student empower
ment is discussed. An attempt is made to differentiate the characteris
tics of courses which involve token empowerment from those which invol
ve deeper empowerment. An example of a project undertaken by second-ye
ar undergraduates is described, and student responses, as evidence of
their awareness of learning processes, are explored.
