  3. Wednesday • Make sure that projects are emailed to me no later than 6:30 pm. • Continue working on last of the Aplia assignments • We will discuss final assignments and final exam.

  4. Visuals Are Important Visuals in textbooks may provide • Examples of the ideas being talked about • Specific numerical data to support the general statements in the text • A comparison of large amounts of information.

  5. Read the title carefully Basic Rules for Interpreting Graphs and Tables • Read the headings of rows/columns or x/y axes carefully • If different colors are used, notice their meaning • Think critically about the implications of the headings, the numbers, and the way the information is presented.

  6. Interpret Tables • A table is an arrangement of information in rows and columns. • Tables condense a lot of information into a small space, and they make pieces of information easy to compare. • Tables may be comprised of information reported in words or numbers.

  7. Example Table This table (close-up on the next slide) has • a title • column headings • two major subgroups – fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins.

  8. Interpret Line Graphs • Line graphs are used to show how a condition or behavior changes over time. • The number of people engaging in a behavior is often plotted on the y-axis (the vertical line). • Units of time, such as years, are plotted on the x-axis, or horizontal line. • Line graphs make it easy to see trends in data.

  9. Interpret Bar Graphs • Bar graphs help readers compare differences between two groups. • A bar graph can show the relationship between two sets of numbers, such as the number of people doing two different things over a certain number of years.

  10. Example Bar Graph

  11. Interpret Pie Charts • A pie chart shows how a whole pie – 100% of something – is divided up. • Pie charts help readers compare the percentages or proportions of different components of a whole.

  12. Example Pie Chart

  13. Interpret Flowcharts • Flowcharts, also called process charts, show how different stages in a process are connected. • Read flowcharts from left to right and from top to bottom. • Flowcharts can be simple or quite technical with different boxes representing different aspects of the process.

  14. Example Flow Chart

  15. Interpreting Photographs, Illustrations & Multimedia • Photographs are used in readings to illustrate the ideas being discussed. • Photograph captions connect the photo to the idea being illustrated and should be read just as carefully as the title of a chart, a graph, or a table. • Illustrations often require you to understand the “implied meaning” if there is limited text. • Multimedia can be a combination of video, audio, pictures, charts/graphs. Be aware of the theme.

  26. Discussion Board Question Due • Ervin Staub, a Holocaust survivor from Hungary  has written, "Goodness, like evil, often begins in small steps. Heroes evolve; they aren't born. Very often the rescuers make only a small commitment at the start, to hide someone for a day or two. But once they had taken that step, they began to see themselves differently, as someone who helps. What starts as mere willingness becomes intense involvement."
