Criteria Feedback
You identified a focused chemical question with clear variables and an appropriate topic area.
You showed thoughtful planning by including controls, repeats, and apparatus uncertainties.
Your method is detailed enough that a reader can mostly follow the intended procedure.
Several key details are inconsistent across the write-up, including sample volume, iodine concentration, reaction time, and starch concentration.
The procedure is missing a clearly defined blank, which is necessary for a valid iodine-value investigation.
Some parts of the method would still be difficult to reproduce exactly because not every step is stated consistently for all five oils.

Criteria Feedback
You present raw titres, means, processed values, and uncertainty estimates in a way that lets the reader follow your working.
You attempt appropriate forms of processing for the investigation, including averaging and comparing results across oils.
Your tables and graph make the data progression reasonably easy to track.
The processing uses the back-titration result incorrectly, so the iodine values are not calculated from a valid chemical basis.
There are noticeable calculation errors and inconsistencies, including the standard deviation work and the handling of units.
The uncertainty treatment is incomplete because important sources of error and the missing blank are not properly incorporated.
