Great to catch up! Yes would absolutely be up for a visit. I'll have a chat with Paul when I'm back in the office and see what we can arrange :)

Makes sense. We have a fair chunk of prelab before the echem practicals for the same reason! If you're interested, the enzyme - glucose probably works without echem - mix the enzyme and glucose then it's a titration to quantify peroxide. Options for Michaelis Menten if you add time as a factor too.

What sort of equipment do you have to work with? If you have access to potientiostats there are some nice electrochemistry options. We run detecting copper in solution and also use enzymes with electrochem to quantify sugar in sports drinks

As both a Physical chemist and cat owner this feels a little to real!! Where did you get the interesting locks?

Was putting this sort of plan together with my project student the other day! Any advice for encouraging uptake from students? Still spending my time convincing students Excel is the better option over pen and paper... even for really complicated calculations!

Have tried doing this with MS Forms. Quick Likert scale response for "how much did you enjoy this", "how useful was this", "how challenging was this" etc. Students report that this is a good idea, but response rates are frustratingly low so it's hard to get useful data.

Thanks for sharing! Totally agree with your approach. Working to change the mindset of mistakes being failures to being learning opportunities takes a lot of confidence, but it doesn't take long to reap the rewards!
