A title is present at the top
of the graph. |
A title is not present. |
| Units |
All units are described (in a
key or with labels) and are appropriately sized for the data
set. |
Most units are described (in a
key or with labels) and are appropriately sized for the data
set. |
All units are described (in a
key or with labels) but are not appropriately sized for the
data set. |
Units are neither described
NOR appropriately sized for the data set. |
| Type of Graph Chosen |
Graph fits the data well and
makes it easy to interpret. |
Graph is adequate and does not
distort the data, but interpretation of the data is somewhat
difficult. |
Graph distorts the data
somewhat and interpretation of the data is somewhat
difficult. |
Graph seriously distorts the
data making interpretation almost impossible. |
| Representation of Data |
Exceptionally well designed,
neat, and attractive. Colors that go well together are used
to make the graph more readable. |
Neat and relatively
attractive. Colors are distinguishable. |
Neat, but the graph appears
quite plain. Colors may be distinguishable. Software
procedure may or may not be followed. |
Appears messy and "thrown
together" in a hurry. |
| Process of Data Collection
Technical
Requirements
(As stated in VT Technology GE Standard IT5-
6:3) |
Data was collected.
Graph was created to support the data. Spreadsheet was
created by manipulation format (e.g. resizing rows and
columns, font, colors, hiding grid). Graph
representation displays text and numerical data accurately. |
Data was collected.
Graph supports data. Spreadsheet was created by
manipulating format. Text or numerical data may be
inaccurately depicted. |
Inaccurate data was
collected. Spreadsheet was created by manipulating
format. Graph does not fully support data. Text
or numerical data may be inaccurately depicted. |
Inaccurate data was
collected. Spreadsheet and graph are
inaccurate. |
