Hey gang:

I am teaching an upper division research methods class for the first time in my 
life.

As such, I want to be scrupulous about the guidance I give

If one wishes to present likert scale results in pictorial form, would one do a 
histogram (continuous, with bars touching) or a bar graph (each point on the 
Likert scale represented by a bar?

I am asking because the rules seem to be lose sometimes - for example, income 
is technically quantitative and ratio type data but
some researchers divide income into "classes" and make a bar graph instead of a 
histogram or line graph.

Thanks in advance for sharing the collective wisdom.
