- 3. COURSE DESCRIPTION The Introductionto Visual Analytics course will expose students to: 1) fundamental concepts in data, statistics, data visualization and visual analytics 2) the diversity of data visualization work across different domains c) hands-on work with data using existing open source data visualization tools. The Introduction to Visual Analytics course covers the basic principles of data analysis, cognitive perception, and design. It includes a survey of data visualization work in various domains (art, journalism, information design, network analysis, science, and map-based applications) as well as different media (print, screen, interactive, 3d). Students will apply these principles, and take inspiration from the examples, to create their own visualizations. LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon the successful completion of this course, students will have: learned some basic principles in data analysis, design, and data visualization been exposed to a wide range of data visualization work across different domains created their own visualizations using the tools provided in class TEACHING METHODS & DELIVERY This is a studio-based learning environment. Teaching methods and delivery will include a combination of lectures, demonstrations, critiques, individual and group discussions and in class labs. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Two absences will result in an incompletion of the course.

Examples: gender, race, religion, sport Ordinal Data can be arranged in order or rank Examples: sizes (small, medium, large), attitudes (strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree), house number. Continuous Data is measured on a continuous scale. Examples: Temperature, length, height Discrete Data is countable, and exists only in whole numbers Examples: Number of people taking this class, Number of candy bars collected on Halloween.
