Try subgroups, try to leave out those who did not pay much attention, check for outliers, etc You have lots of variables available: use them! Assumptions of the analyses: check them and show it (don't just say you did) Finally: this is not just a copy-and-paste assignment. Think for yourselves. Do something smart with the data.
