Aufgabenstellung

Beschreibung der Aufgabe 2

Zu beurteilende Tabelle

Critical Review

  • grid
  • multiple cols with redundant data(?)
  • numbers
    • centered alignment
    • mixed decimals
  • no structural elements
  • ambiguous Column headers
  • data-rows in unnatural order (none at all?)
  • footnotes
  • different fonts and fontsizes

Improved Table

Improvements

  • no grid
  • only one font, one size
  • structural elements for header
    • seperated header
    • grouped columns (values and rank)
  • reordered (rank)
  • inlined alpha
  • same formatting and precision in every column --> improves alignment
  • slightly increased line height

overall size of the table could be downscaled ~15% (?)
