DS 210 - Data Visualization & Methods of Data Sci

This course will focus on building the technical skills necessary to transform data into visual and interactive reports to stimulate a shared understanding and assist with problem-solving. Students are introduced to data literacy and organization, exploratory and explanatory data visualization techniques, dashboard construction, design principles, problematizing how data are generated, and data-driven decision-making. Students will become familiar with various software [this can be based on the instructor teaching the class, but R, Tableau, and MS Business Intelligence are a few] used to ingest, organize, and visualize data. The goal is for students to produce precise, well-designed graphs and dashboards that capture the essence of specified data to inform an audience and provide relevant insights.
