Visualizing Comms Data

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Images are invaluable tools for communication. Visualizations are highly useful to academics, artists, business professionals, among many other sectors. In this course, students will develop skill sets in managing, cleaning, and visualizing data. We will work together, drawing on best practices on cleaning and responsibly storing data. We will work with visualizing variables, bivariate relationships, networks, geospatial and interactive graphics. This course will primarily work with R Studio. We will work with multiple packages, including ggplot2, dplyr, and shiny packages in R Studio. No prior knowledge of R or R Studio is necessary. Students will be expected to produce a storyboard on a topic of their choosing using the skills they have gained in class.
