Course Description:
How can we use charts and maps to tell meaningful stories in the social sciences? How can we identify when they instead mislead us? In this introductory hands-on course, we will create data visualizations in order to better understand visual design principles and develop critical analysis skills. Students will learn skills in both quantitative reasoning and digital storytelling as we advance from beginner tools to editing code templates. No coding experience is necessary, but curiosity is required. |
