- Theory and Practice of Data Visualization

Catalog description

Data visualization turns data and analysis into something people can see, and something they can comprehend. The practice of data visualization is built on the science of perception and the art of visual metaphors. While data visualization is a skillset demanded of any role involving data and analytics, there is also a field of study and discipline dedicated to the design and creation of graphical representations of data. This course introduces the discipline of data visualization, design principles and theory, and the way data visualization is used in a variety of fields. As part of this course, you will create and refine your own portfolio of dashboards and infographics, and learn to evaluate data visualization through workshops involving peer-to-peer feedback.
