Take a look at the datasets

There are datasets that are set up well and others that are poorly constructed. To load a dataset in a readable format use the following commands:

View(dataManagement::package_name)

After typing "View(dataManagment::" a list of all the datasets should appear: - full - location - observer - sighting - sightings_bad - sightings_really_bad - species - species_bad

Take a look at the sightings_bad, sightings_really_bad, and species_bad datasets

Also, look at the documentation for each of the datasets, to learn what might be wrong with each of them

?dataManagement::sightings_bad
