Avoid the temptation of a run - on sentence when writing the summary overview. The rule of thumb is one reference point per sentence. All ideas in the sentence must be related. When referring to 2 different images covering different information, use seperate sentences.



These are both charts of different kinds. The first is an information table and the second, a bar chart. Familiarity with major image types and the corresponding sub- image categories will be necessary to increase the TA and C + C scores of the writer.


Actual measurement data is not presented in a trending sentence. Only a general reference is made to the uptick or downtick of measurements.


At what measurement? You are providing data where it is not required and withholding information where it is necessary.
