    Abstract

    Instructors and students often find it difficult to cope with philosophical and methodological issues in geography classes. In part, this stems from, an inability to connect abstract issues with students’ personal experiences. In an effort to overcome such difficulties, the classroom exercise presented in this paper requires students to prepare, undertake, and analyze an interactive interview. The exercise leads students to explore both retail location decision making and the use of an intensive research strategy. On the basis of this exercise, stimulating classroom discussions on philosophy and methodology can be initiated.
