Week 8 part B: Feeling Lost When Reading Quantitative Results in Research Papers? Visualization for Presenting Results

Critique Examples to Improve Results Presentation to Improve Clarity for Others

Data and How it is Displayed - Does it Matter?

(Choose at least --one-- to read, reflect in your research notebook on the guidelines for presenting data visually)

Examples of visually reporting quantitative results:

(Choose-- one-- from this group and critique their results section presentation in your research notebook with a primary focus on the visual figures, tables, and charts in the results section; reflect on communication, understandability, and transparency; )

(Compare and contrast to --one-- of the papers you read in the prior “Week 6: A Look at Examples of Empirical Human Subject Studies” (links reposted below-- reflect on ...What was done better/worse, focused on visual presentation of results, in your chosen paper from this week?)

**optional tidbits**

Great books on visualizing information by Edward Tufte

(choose an interesting chapter and read through at least one for discussion)

Alternative methods to visualize results? Interactive Graphics:
