UCB Chapter 5 Role of Information Reports Reading Questions

 

I’m working on a article writing report and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Ch 20

review or re-read chapter 5 

  • Ch 6 
  • What are information reports? What are they used for in workplaces in terms of purpose and audience?

Why and how are shaping the page and the four quadrants important to information reports?

What are graph axes and how do you properly label them? Give an example.

  • What is a visualization caption? Where does a caption go on the page? 
  • After reviewing the types of visualizations in Ch 6, come up with 2-3 examples for each of the following types. Your examples can be from your real life (bar graph: to show how you split chores at home) or from information you find online (pie chart: polls on president approval). You do not need to re-create the visualization; you simply need to state the idea in your own words.
  • Please also provide a one sentence rationale as to why you chose that visualization versus another type. Note, not all data works in all types of visualizations, so there are wrong answers. You should be able to find all the info you need to determine the best visualization based on Ch 6. 
  • bar graph

line graph

pie chart

flowchart

  • table
