I thought it was good, it really wasn't hard to follow the instructions and carry out the practical. The one thing i dislike about titration is that people's color perception is different so your,(Mr Eve),perception of what is blue could be different from what i think is blue, so results could be innacurate from this.

How dark a blue were they looking for?

How would you carry out the practical if you were color blind?

Andy,

This is a good question and sometimes one of the things that needs to be considered when selecting an indicator. Usually the end point is measured when there is a distinct colour change so just when it turned blue in the case of our practical. Colour perception a colour blindness may indeed play a part. Are there machines that can do this for us?
