Overall trend for a static graph

Overall trend

The bar graph below shows the numbers of male and female research students studying six computer science subjects at a US university in 2011.

Open Ended

Write the overall trend for this graph

Most of the subjects had more male than female students.

The structure of an analysis: introduction, body paragraph, concluding paragraph

The bar graph below shows the numbers of male and female research students studying six computer science subjects at a US university in 2011.

Introduction paragraph

Introduction

▫introduces the graph and gives an overview which identifies patterns while comparing the variables in a general manner.

The static bar graph shows the numbers of male and female research students studying six computer science subjects at a US university in 2011. Most of the subjects had more male than female students.

Open Ended

Write the introduction paragraph for this graph.

Body paragraph

Body Paragraph

▫notes the highest, lowest and unusual patterns; and compares similarities and differences. Pays attention to- comparative words and phrases (adjectives, adverbs, sentence connectors and conjunctions); and expressions of measurement (exact figures, approximations, fractions and proportions)

Four out of six subjects were preferred by male students and they were mathematics, psychology, programming and engineering. Both mathematics and psychology had the highest number of male students which was 200 but the former recorded the biggest gap between the male and female students while the latter, the smallest.  Next, the same number of male students which was 150 chose programming and engineering but females saw half the number only. Dissimilar to the four subjects, linguistics was chosen by more female students. There were approximately 30 more female than male students preferring linguistics and the number of male students who chose linguistics was the lowest among all subjects. Natural Science was the only subject that managed to attract equal number of male and female researchers at exactly 200 students for each gender

Concluding paragraph

Conclusion

▫rephrases the overview statement

Open Ended

Write the concluding sentence (restate the overall trend)

          In conclusion, the number of male research students was higher than that of female students in the computer science subjects.
