From our conversation in class, remember that making charts is a simple process. Type your data into excel in rows and columns, giving headers to the rows and columns. Then highlight that information, including the text at the top and left of the numerical data so that your chart will have proper labels. Go to the Chart tab at the top. Select a chart and it will appear at the borrom.
Play around with what chart works best to express your data. Most often, a line, bar, or pie chart will do the trick. Make sure all of your data is labelled in the chart too. Give a proper citation below the chart in your paper: note the name of the chart, the source data, and date. You can read her about citation examples.
About jgieseking
Jen Gieseking is a Ph.D. candidate in environmental psychology at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her research focuses on the production of lesbians' and queer women's spaces and places, specifically how and why these spaces have changed and/or remained the same over generations in New York City and what this says about these women's shifting experiences of justice and oppression. Her previous work has examined how the physical, social, and historical campus is affected and reflected in the identity development of its students and alumnae spanning generations throughout the 20th century. She is interested in the sociocultural production and private/public aspects of everyday spaces of identity around sexuality, gender, race, and class, the right to the city and the right to design and produce the city, cognitive and mental mapping methodologies, and feminist and queer pedagogy. She has served as a Writing Fellow at Hunter College, Fellow of The Center for Place, Culture, and Politics, Fellow of the Summer Institute for Geographers of Justice, Woodrow Wilson Women's Studies Dissertation Fellow, CLAGS Joan Heller-Diane Barnard Fellow in Lesbian and Gay Studies, and is a member of the Participatory Action Research Collective.
