things to consider while presenting data
title
label visuals
colours
size of visuals
how crucial the question is
label
(fig. 1, fig. 2 blah blah blah) so that you can conveniently refer to them later on in your data analysis
size of visuals
Make sure your visuals are BIG enough for your readers.
how crucial the question is
You don’t have to include a chart / visual for every survey question! Only chart those which are crucial.
what do you have to do for data presentation
You only need to DESCRIBE
your data in this section of your report. There is no need to EXPLAIN your data. explain data in the ANALYSIS
what to describe
Highest / Lowest?
- Disparity between highest and lowest (Is the difference a lot or very little?)
- Observe trends (Increasing? Decreasing? Stagnant?)
- Intensity and extent of change
(Significant? Gradual? Sudden?)
- Relationships (Positive, negative, unrelated?)
analysis things to think about
what do the data numbers tell you? explain.
possible reasons for the trends and patterns. use data and results to support
what you predict will happen next.
what are some implications?
