I remind them if they’re wrong, the worst thing that happens is that they just graph it again! The experience of being wrong - of seeing the graph take up only a wee bit of the page - is an important one.

That's the one hiccup I can't seem to get over to get students to actually graph as you go. They like to collect the data in a table and then nicely graph it since they know for sure what their upper limits are going to be for each axis.
