Evaluation and reporting
The project was evaluated by both the laboratory teacher and our lecturer. The students gave also their feedback during the laboratory session. As the laboratory method is now published nationally, one could of course try to get feedback from different schools by interviewing teachers in Chemistry. A final report of the project is available in Finnish on google drive (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwPSjiP_whIwMC1ZOFg1cEhlOEk/view).
