Although there are many different types of tables and figures you might make, effective ones all follow the same set of guidelines - they are: - .vocab[clear] in the information they display, such that readers can immediately know the story behind the figure - .vocab[concise] in providing the information, without any extraneous or otherwise distracting components - .vocab[correct] in their depiction, with an appropriate type of table or graph provided to appropriately tell the story .question[ We'll focus on concrete examples, determining what makes some of them strong and how we might fix certain issues in others. ] --- ### Example 1 <img src="img/issues2.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 2 <img src="img/good4.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 3 <img src="img/issues7.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 4 <img src="img/good6.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 5 <img src="img/good1.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 6 <img src="img/good2.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 7 <img src="img/good5.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 8 <img src="img/issues1.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 9 <img src="img/issues3.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 10 <img src="img/issues4.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 11 <img src="img/issues5.png" width="70%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 12 <img src="img/issues6.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 13 <img src="img/good3.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 14 <img src="img/good7.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Example 15 <img src="img/good8.png" width="60%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" />
