Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 6:
I think it shows attention to detail. Especially the variables and risk assessment are explained
well. But I think the background info lacks terminology and is focused on personal experience
too much.

Uncertainties weren't neglected
Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 6:
There are a lot of trials and the uncertainties are always given. Processed data part
is a bit short and separated. I think that part could be written earlier in the paper and was
not suitable for this part. The results in general are reliable since their uncertainties are really
low and won't impact the results of the experiment.

Too short
Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 6:
I think it should be expanded more with references to other topics. The paper mainly
focused on the research question but it didn't talk about how this experiment could
relate to other experiments' results.

Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 4:
The paper could be better organized by table of contents page. Otherwise the paper was
coherent and organized. Sometimes the data was too chaotic to read but content wise it was
satisfactory. It was written in a simple language but perhaps some things could be further
explained. Some parts were hard to follow without prior knowledge about the topic. Also,
terminology about the topic could be included more in background info and discussion parts.
Overall grade out of 24 and the justification of the overall grade with a short explanation:
20/24
Overall, the paper shows effort and understanding. Some parts were
detailed and some parts were underdeveloped. I think that if there is
a balance, this paper would get a better mark. For example the raw
data and sample calculation were really detailed. But I think that the
research was too focused on a single topic and a small amount of
equations were used. If there is a variety, I think it could show a
better understanding.
