Common Charts for Museum Evaluators [DOWNLOAD]
I'm often asked about how to choose the right chart for your data viz. The right chart depends on the type of data you have and what key takeaway you want to highlight most. I've made a reference sheet of the charts that I use most often in my evaluation work, mostly for audience research and program evaluation in informal learning spaces like museums. I hope you'll download and enjoy! ๐
