Mark from Guyslaine on Critical Thinking

guyslaine — 2018-10-28 16:03:22 UTC

I would give 11, but 10 is probably the right choice. But I am influeced because I did my Master study on EEG and know how difficult this topic is. How can a student at this age already use and evaluate EEG measurements? This is brilliant! Do schools have EEG electrodes? I think for this age the student did really well, althought there are some parts missing, like Vera mentioned.

2018-10-29 09:32:15 UTC

5 points, I miss a more clear and reasonable argument, why he have chosen this topic. Just because of he is a musician (?) seems a little bit random to me.
