Presenting Your Data Analysis

Once you’ve done the fieldwork and number crunching, you’ll need to present your findings in the a separate section called the “Findings” chapter. Sometimes this is also combined with the “Discussion chapter”. Whatever the case, you’re going to be presenting a lot of data, and it’s critically important that you present it well.

Choosing the right chart can have a significant impact on how well your arguments are understood and received. Thankfully, the folks at Extreme Presentation have compiled this very useful “thought-starter” to help you out.
