Ohk, Thank you
Here's your feedback!
I actually thought this was a pretty good write up in some ways so please try not to take it too much to heart that my comments are focused on things to improve - that's just because I want to spend my time helping you get better!
You've probably noticed this in my other feedback I give but since I've now completed all the requirements for a bachelor of science majoring in ecology and conservation biology (I'm now doing ecological/conservation biology research as my final/honours year) sometimes I'm especially hard on bio assessments. Again, it's just because I want to help people improve so I focus my comments on that.
I think for you the main things to focus on are:
- reworking the rationale to be focused more on the rationale and less on the methods ( I recommend a rewrite)
- editing the methods, making sure to include enough information that someone at a different school who doesn't know you could repeat what you did
- looking at your processed/raw data table (unfortunately you may need to redo the stats but your formulas are right)
- make sure you're clear/specific enough with your language and are very comfortable with the differences between precision, reliability & validity. Some of your points are great but there is a bit of change needed
With SE, that's used to create a confidence interval around the sample mean, where it is highly likely that the true mean is somewhere in that interval. If the true mean falls within that interval then your data is accurate. (Accuracy is not about how big/small the SE is)
I hope this helps & please feel free to ask follow up questions etc.
