i have a whole chapter where I am meant to talk about participation rates etc - basically go on about statistics. I am finding that between each graph i have a a 2 sentance discription of what it means and how it contributes to the story. I have a feeling this isnt enough. Have u got any tips to deal with tons of graphs... i hate chapters like this.

If the graphs are all quite similar then pick some typical (i.e. the best!) graphs to put in your chapter then stick the rest in the appendices, or even on a CD which you stick inside the cover of your thesis. Loads of graphs in a chapter do make it harder to read and break the flow a bit, as you say, if you only have a few lines of text between them.

Us modelling types are used to dealing with masses of graphs, eh Dan?!
