It is that time of year again, not a festive period, but rather that time when students start drafting their theses (or internship reports). Often I see copy and pasted tables and figures straight out of SPSS. Inevitably, these make me cry and want to scratch my eyes out. That shouldn’t happen, ahem. So I made some screen casts on how to avoid that. Here I explain how to make a prettier table and here I explain how to make a nicer figure for your thesis. Enjoy!
