Course Aims | ||||||||
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” The human race is wired to perceive pictorial messages and discover patterns using intuitions. In a data‐driven business environment, the ability to convey hard messages with clever visualization is essential and valuable. The goal of this course is to learn how to use visualization tools for data interpretation under the business context. We will explore ways to organize and derive meaning from vast amounts of data, with interesting visual examples from different application areas. Students will learn concepts, methods, and applications of data visualization methods. Students will also learn visualization tools from GUI-based Tableau software to more advanced programmable visualization packages in R and Python. They will be guided in creating engaging and interactive visualizations, as well as experiencing virtual reality applications. Students will apply the concepts and skills to designing a final project. The course has no prerequisite of programming background, although prior experience with coding languages will be helpful. | ||||||||
