This is a more “usual” weekly assignment – it has a reading, and a discussion. Also remember, that each week, there is a seek and find assignment. (for this week, there is Seek and Find 2).
Please make sure that you’ve done all parts of Assignment 1. (set up Canvas, the 1st reading, the 1st discussion). You can continue the 1st discussion even while Assignment 2 is in progress.
Reading: Reading 2 (best done before class on Monday, January 23rd, but since the assignment is going out late, Wednesday January 25th is OK)
Discussion: (initial posting due 1/25, please make a few responses to others to start the conversation by 1/27, and have some conversation by the time the discussion closes on Friday 2/3).
Initial Posting: What is your perspective on what visualization is, and how do the various perspectives of the different authors relate to your view?
Discussion: you’ll probably have a range of views (with the students and the reading authors) to compare, contrast and discuss. If nothing else, you can always discuss the differences in viewpoints between different authors – but hopefully the personal perspectives will come into play as well.
Everyone needs to make a minimum of 2 postings beyond their initial posting. It’s more fun and interesting for everyone if it is a discussion so I hope everyone contributes early and often.
As mentioned in the instructions for the first assignment, the discussion on Canvas will have the class broken into groups of approximately 8 people. We’re still working the kinks out of the canvas groupings – if you have a problem, please contact Chih-Ching.
