@sellathechemist @HGourlayUCL @martinvermeer I have senior (~17yo) students help out with my technicianing. I always encourage them to have a rough idea of the result before they calculate. "Dilute this 3.85M acid down to 1.2M. Well, that's basically 4M down to 1M, so we know it should be in the 25% ballpark." Catches so many order of magnitude slips etc. I also tell them that being 10/100/1,000 out is great, there's probably a simple decimal place error. There always is.
