Introduction
In this assignment, I will evaluate our comprehensive report and technical competencies for this
unit. I will assess my performance in titration, cooling curves, and chromatography, identifying
areas for improvement to enhance result accuracy. I will seek feedback from my peers regarding
my practical experiment skills, communication, techniques, and calibration procedures. I will
examine the mistakes made and explore strategies to rectify them for future units and
experiments. This assessment will serve as an overview of Unit 2, covering my skills, techniques,
errors, and outcomes.
