The Detroit Tours: Experiential Learning within the Framework of a Large Lecture Course.

Grant, Linda; And Others

Teaching Sociology, v9 n1 p15-29 Oct 1981

Using a tour of Detroit as a case study, this article explains how a well-designed urban tour can make large-scale processes visible to students. Information is presented on ways in which the Detroit tour helped students think analytically about large-scale processes and about how teachers can adapt the Detroit format to tours of other cities.
