UNDERSTANDING TABLES AND GRAPHS TO INTERPRET PROFESSIONALLY A CASE STUDY

Abstract

In this study, the main aim was to elaborate the importance of drawing a proper table and a graph that reflects and characterizes the inscriptional practices demonstrated by academics; particularly their use of data tables and graphs. Many tables and graphs, even from the professionals, do not effectively convey information. This paper was developed to check the academic knowledge depicted on tables and graphs, and to reveal the known flaws in the display by analyzing the information. Basic information on the anatomy of tables and graphs is poorly understood among academia, and violation of relevant rules reveal the source of potential difficulty in using the principles of drawing tables and graphs accurately.
