Question

Use what you learn about figures and tables from TWE Ch. 3 (Figures and Tables) and OTC Ch. 4.7 (Tables, Graphs, and Charts), to create two different visual representations of the data described in the following paragraph. Explain why you chose those methods and list the pros and cons of each.
______________________________________________________________________
Data:
We surveyed the students in 3 sections of ENG 372 (total of 100 students) to gauge which aspect of the writing process they found most challenging: Pre-writing, Drafting, or Revising. The results among the 3 sections were consistent. Overall 50% of students said that they found the Pre-writing stage to be the most challenging, while 28% found the Drafting stage most difficult and 22% said the Revision stage was most challenging (see Figure 1). These results suggest that we should place more emphasis on teaching and practicing pre-writing strategies during the course.

Fig. 1 represents the survey result showing three primary stages of writing and the respective percentage (%) of students who find that stage most difficult in their technical writing process. It can be inferred from this representation that the initial stages of writing appear to be most difficult for most of the students. The revising stage is the least difficult for most people. Therefore, the students from these sections need more guidance and lessons on their initial technical writing journey. 
I have chosen a pie chart because of the following advantages it offers:
(i) The primary data is available in percentage (%) form, and in such cases, a pie chart is the best option to show different fractions of the total percentage in each category.
(ii) It is the most straightforward representation of any data which lack complex inter-relationships
(iii) It is easy to comprehend from the perspective of a wider group of readers.
A few demerits of this representation:
