Homework: Find Data Visualizations
Due Thursday, June 8:
Next week we’ll be discussing data visualization. To be able to create effective data visualizations, it’s important for you to develop your visual literacy skills.
Please be prepared to share three data visualizations that you’ve found. Your visualizations may be on websites (have the URLs!) or they may be printed copies of something you found in a book, magazine, or newspaper. Ideally, each of you will bring at least one visualization that you think is “good,” and at least one that you think is “bad.” The third can be good, bad, a combination of good and bad, or one that you’re just not sure about. Your visualizations do not need to be related to your projects, but they can be about topics that are of interest to you.
