Abstract
This study analyzes the adherence to the required structure of tables and the types of graphs used in theses written between 2015 and 2019 in various programs at the National University Micaela Bastida of Apurímac (UNAMBA). A total of 35 theses were evaluated. In over 75% of the tables and graphs, proper numbering was lacking, and the titles did not meet the criteria of order, clarity, and brevity. Bar graphs were used in 51.8% of cases, either to represent qualitative (28.1%) or quantitative (23.7%) variables. Graphs that allow for the representation of quantitative variables, such as histograms, box plots, and scatter plots, were rarely used; that is, engineering programs tend to use graphs to represent qualitative variables but not graphs to represent quantitative variables.
