The Week in Vis: Week 3 (Feb 6–10)

by Mike Gleicher on February 4, 2012

This week, we’ll do some more “perspective” readings, start to think about how to come up with designs, and then start trying to do some designs.

  • Monday, February 6th – Reading 3: Why Visualization? – some perspectives on why we’re doing this (rather than some other way of dealing with data/communication), that will hopefully give us ideas on how to best meet those goals.
  • Wednesday, February 8th – Reading 4: Think Differently! – a case study of where someone challenged the assumptions of how to present information, hopefully leading to some thinking about how (and when) to come up with novel ideas.
  • Friday, February 10th – The first design challenge is due! (note: handing in the design challenge is not optional – even if class Friday is).
  • (optional) Friday, February 10th – We may or may not have an optional, informal class discussion. Please give me some feedback in the poll on Piazza. We will not have an optional session on Friday, Feb 10th.
