LOW ATTITUDES
It was so close to the
exam I wouldnt have time
to plan on my own.
Low Verification
Student 1
I dont like to plan
experiments, I do what I
am told. I am no leader
Low Verification Student 2
Interesting to do something on
your own. It makes you think,
which a recipe does not. You can
make mistakes and learn from
them.
Low Open Student 1
You learn better when you
have to find out by yourself but
I personally have difficulties in
planning. I was worried about
planning before I started but it
went well.
Low Open Student 2

HIGH ATTITUDES
In principle, open version,
but the practical part would
not have worked for me.
High Verification
Student 1
The practical would have
been difficult for me
without detailed
instructions.
