 These assignments will be due Friday by 11:59pm.  Students are encouraged to respond and engage each other in the different examples posted on the forum:

Find a journal article in your area of interest that contains empirical data but does not contain any visual representation of them.  Use the data to create a chart. Be sure to specify what type of chart you are creating and why you chose the one you did.  Create your chart using Excel.  Why do you think researchers use charts and figures to illustrate data?    Post a link or a copy of your article.
