In this exercise, we present you with a realistic dataset for nest parasitism and a hypothetical analysis performed by a hypothetical student. Using a “rubric” or assessment guide, students will evaluate the analysis, and, where necessary, correct it or improve it. In the process, students will review and reflect on what is required for good data analysis, and they can use that knowledge to improve their own skills.
