Could someone please tell me what's my mistake here?

\begin{table}[htbp]\centering
\caption{\label{} Basic economic theory and business planning -- score by criterion and overall}\begin{tabular} {@{} l r r r @{}}
\hline
\textbf{Students} & \textbf{Knowledge} & \textbf{Consistency} & \textbf{Clarity}& \textbf{Spelling}& \textbf{Total} \\

\hline

\emph{Deinis}& __ & __ & __ & __ & __ \\

\emph{Ana Eneida}& __ & __ & __ & __ & __ \\

\hline

Percentages& __ & __ & __ & __ & __\\

\end{tabular}
\end{table}


THE ERROR I RECEIVE IS:
./Final_Report.tex:128: Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr.
<template> \unskip }\endtemplate

l.128 ... \textbf{Consistency} & \textbf{Clarity}&
\textbf{Spelling}& \textb...

./Final_Report.tex:132: Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>

l.132 \emph{Deinis}& _

Thanks for your help!

Hi Antonio,

this line

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular} {@{} l r r r @{}}

tells LaTeX that your table has 4 columns. However, here you are using 6 columns:

Code: Select all

\textbf{Students} & \textbf{Knowledge} & \textbf{Consistency} & \textbf{Clarity}& \textbf{Spelling}& \textbf{Total} \\
