This document provides guidance on presenting results in an effective way for coursework. It recommends using visual presentations such as bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, photos, maps, and star diagrams to display data in an easy to understand manner. The examiners will look for good presentation, appropriate and complex visualization techniques being used, and some incorporation of information and communication technology.

1. Results

2. Now that you have collected your data you will want to present it in a way that is easy to understand and that is meaningful. Doing so will help you with the analysis in the next section when you go on to interpret your data, and ultimately, answer the question you posed at the beginning (or to prove/disprove your hypothesis). So let's have a look

3. The results section probably carries the least writing in your coursework. Instead, the focus is on visual presentation. Here are some ideas… bar graphs pie charts line graphs labelled photos star diagrams maps & plans etc....

4. Ok, so what are the examiners looking for in this section? Answer…. Good presentation Appropriateness Complexity * Range Some ICT *See next slide

5. Basic Techniques pie charts bar graphs line graphs star diagrams labelled photos sketches Complex Techniques choropleth mapping isoline maps scatter graphs statistical techniques (e.g. Spearman’s Rank) proportional circles triangular graphs You need two complex techniques to access level 3

6. Traffic Counts & Pedestrian Counts Bar graphs/ pie charts

7. Environmental Assessments A star diagram All positive words are on the end of each axis or vice versa

8. Photos/sketches High rise buildings (Typical of the CBD) Freeway crossing (Good access) Harbour (limits growth of CBD) Inner City in the background

9. Annotating Photos, Cont’d Terraced housing – typical of the inner city zone High Density Housing Date from the19th century Small front yard – little space to accommodate large gardens in this zone Off- street parking (no drives) – again due to lack of space Photo taken at site A

10. Transects 0.5 km from CBD Start point: CBD

11. Land use Surveys Colour coded maps (using clear overlays) Land Use Key
