HOW AM I DOING?
INTRODUCTION
In this assignment, key skills and development throughout the units is covered and looked
through. The different skills achieved, and improvements needed in these aims are reviewed and
analysed. In this unit, I showed development of new skills through each experiment, and I also
showed improvements in areas that needed improving. To identify and review my skills carried out
and developed during these three aims, I will be recapping all experiments performed,
improvements that were needed and whether I did, or did not carry out the experiment accurately
and precisely.
