    Summary

    Description
    English: Diverging stacked bar chart of five Likert items on a five-point agreement scale. The data are illustrative, made up for this example, with 200 respondents per item. Each bar is centered on the neutral midpoint, with agreement to the right of the zero line and disagreement to the left. The "Neither agree nor disagree" share is split in half across zero, following Robbins and Heiberger (2011). Items are sorted by the percentage who agree. The columns on either side of the plot give each item's total percentage disagreeing (left) and agreeing (right).

    Counts (strongly disagree, disagree, neither, agree, strongly agree):

    • The course was well organized: 6, 14, 24, 92, 64 (10% disagree, 12% neither, 78% agree)
    • I would recommend the course: 8, 16, 30, 78, 68 (12%, 15%, 73%)
    • The readings were useful: 10, 24, 36, 84, 46 (17%, 18%, 65%)
    • The workload was manageable: 22, 46, 40, 66, 26 (34%, 20%, 46%)
    • Feedback was timely: 30, 58, 34, 52, 26 (44%, 17%, 39%)
    Colors: gray-blue for disagreement, orange for agreement and gray for neutral. Blue and orange remain distinguishable under the common forms of color-vision deficiency.
