Reflection:
This lab was an interesting one. It taught me many things I had never even thought about. I think this lab went quite well overall but one problem was that when we curdled the cheese the agents that took the longest amount of time didn't have accurate times on them since they were left overnight. One thing we could do to make this better would be to either not use the slowest ones or start a single one early in the morning and have someone check it every hour. We could just have the whole class use the results from that one. The skills I gained from this lab were being able to make cheese and being more aware of what things are composed of. One thing I could have done better would have been to choose one of the more efficient curdling agents so I wouldn't have to spend as long incubating and instead could have moved to the next part. One part I felt I did good with was I didn't have to wait for instruction and already knew what to do. When we were testing the cheese I took some control over the group instead of sitting and being passive.
