Learning Outcomes

  1. explain the basic elements of a data visualization
  2. propose the design of a data visualisation
  3. create an effective data visualisation using appropriate tools
  4. critically assess the design of a data visualisation

Forms of Teaching

Lectures

The classes are organized in two blocks: The first block comprises 7 classes and a midterm exam, while the second comprises 6 classes and a final exam. this makes in total 15 weeks with 2 hours per week.

Independent assignments

Students need to resolve independently practical tasks as preparation for laboratory exercises.

Laboratory

During the laboratory exercises, students work on cleaning, exploratory analysis and visualization of different types of data using different software frameworks for data visualization.
