From Holly Menninger:

As I read through it, it seems like you are giving students problem sets or homework to do with the data. Will they be using this data in class? Or is this just an "FYI: here are your results." If it's a latter, than I think you need to be straightforward with plain language bullet points - You may get a few who want to play around with the data, but I bet you'll lose a bunch if they need to make multiple clicks to see results.

Definitely the latter here, although part of the future plans for this may be to put homework assignment(s) together based on the data. I'm going to address this by reducing the text on some on the pages that are presenting the data.

will try to pass through this one after my current pull requests are merged, but if i don't get to it we might have to scratch it for now, and work on improving it for a future iteration of the system.
