Study Notes
Visual Aids
Diagrams
- A diagram is a visual representation of information that uses symbols, images, and/or charts to convey meaning
- Types of diagrams:
- Block diagrams: show relationships between components
- Schematic diagrams: show detailed, technical information
- Pictorial diagrams: use images to represent information
- Diagrams are useful for:
- Illustrating complex systems or processes
- Highlighting relationships between components
- Simplifying complex information
Flowcharts
- A flowchart is a diagram that shows the sequence of steps in a process
- Flowcharts are useful for:
- Illustrating decision-making processes
- Showing the sequence of events in a process
- Identifying potential problems or bottlenecks
- Common symbols used in flowcharts:
- Rectangles: represent processes or actions
- Diamonds: represent decisions or branching points
- Arrows: represent the flow of the process
Charts
- A chart is a visual representation of data that uses symbols, colors, and/or images to convey meaning
- Types of charts:
- Bar charts: compare categorical data
- Pie charts: show proportional relationships
- Scatter charts: show relationships between variables
- Charts are useful for:
- Comparing data across different categories
- Showing trends or patterns in data
- Highlighting relationships between variables
Graphs
- A graph is a visual representation of numerical data that uses points, lines, or curves to convey meaning
- Types of graphs:
- Line graphs: show trends or patterns over time
- Histograms: show the distribution of continuous data
- Scatter plots: show relationships between variables
- Graphs are useful for:
- Showing trends or patterns in data
- Identifying correlations between variables
- Illustrating complex relationships between variables
