  1. This was a great example of an easy to read presentation!

    It had not clicked with me that the idea of having a legend or key is no longer a generally accepted practice when it came to graphs. Thinking back on it, I do see that most graphs that I see these days are now labeled directly on the graph, but it was not something that had clicked with me. I wonder if there is any correlation between the change in this practice and the rise in the amount of data people take in over smaller mobile devices. If I am scrolling through an article, and I see a graph, I am not going to want to scroll back and forth between a key and the graph to figure out what I am looking at.

    I share the same annoyance and distraction when numbers do not add up to what they should add up to. I often realize that it has to do with the way the numbers rounded, but when that is not noted, I am stuck wondering if I am looking at rounding or looking at data that was not added up properly.

  2. Great Presentation! I definitely agree but I have to admit before I would skim over data displays but after looking into your presentation ill pay more attention.

  3. Great presentation Kaci!
    I agree displaying pictures about research is very important to help other understanding how your project is put together. Some people learn better with pictures, graphs, and tables over just plain reading text.
    Also you do want to make sure the graphs or table are well structured and make sense. If it set up that its very hard to read, people could read your data the wrong and read it wrong.
