# Restrictions and boundary conditions

In the experience of the group there can be various restrictions and boundary conditions, dictated by the setting, context and demands of the university involved. A few of these to consider are:

1. The kind of laboratory available
2. The required student knowledge for the lab course;
3. The number and kind of teacher (assistant)s;
4. The kind of result expected of the student (product, report, presentation, exam);
5. The kind of testcase / example / prescribed practice run (procedural);
6. The possible information (literature, books, etc.) and people (experts) a student could use;
7. Assessment details – final score calculation, weights, assessors;
8. Open inquiry projects are much more time intensive than closed inquiry projects.
