Just Picture It (Your Data That Is!)

Howdy ho everyone! Welcome to our Week 3 episode on data visualization! In this episode, we will talk all things graphing-related: which graphs are best for showing raw data (histograms), showing change over time (line graphs are great at this), providing comparisons (bar or area charts), and more. In addition, I've included a link to a video on how graphs can be used to misrepresent data or make it harder to correctly interpret--I do hope you make time to watch it as it's only a few minutes but covers some great pointers! This episode also provides tips on how to do good visualization and then walks through some examples of graphing and data transformation in SPSS. Let me know if you have questions and if you're experiencing any difficulties using the SPSS software to create graphs this week!
