First Year Seminar 191MCS19 - FYS-Clear Visual/Data Visual

We see data visualizations everywhere; from health data we collect on our smartphones to weather and rideshare apps. But what really counts as a visualization? And, what makes a good one? In this course, you will learn how to detect visualizations in your everyday life, evaluate visualizations for different use cases, tell when a visualization is lying to you, and even create your own visualizations.

Open to COMPSCI or INFORM students only. First-year (R1ST)
