DE5-6 Codes: Feedback
To expedite feedback, some common things are given as codes. We use codes to tell you about good and back things we see in your visualization (it is feedback). For an explanation of how we grade, see Design Exercise Rubrics 04,05,06,07. If we point out problems with a code (as feedback) it is to help you learn and improve - it doesn’t always mean that it hurts your great.
You should look through the codes to get a sense of common problems (so you can avoid them) or common positives (so you can try to achieve them).

De07: Critiquing Census Data Stories
In this design exercise, you will critique other students’ designs from DE06: One Data Set, Four Stories (Census Data Edition). This will give you practice at doing critique, and provide feedback to your peers (you will receive the feedback on your designs).

Design Exercise 6 asks that you make 4 visualizations, each telling a different story, from the Census Data data set. This assignment extends DE05: Stories from Data (EDA).
Read more…DE05: Stories from Data (EDA)
In this design exercise, we’ll continue working with the Census Data and make more visualizations. The idea is to try to “tell stories” with the data (illustrate interesting things). The problem is, we also need to identify the stories that are worth telling, which means we need to do some exploring. So part of this assignment is to try to do “Exploratory Data Analysis” where we make pictures that suggest what the interesting stories are.

In this assignment, you will make some visualizations from the Census Data. Actual visualizations based on data (unlike last time when we asked you to sketch). You will turn your assignment in using the Canvas survey Design Exercise 04: Pictures from Data (due Fri, Sep 27)

Design Exercise 3 will ask you to consider what visualizations to make to answer questions. We will continue to work with the Census Data.
This assignment will ask you to think more about the Census Data data set. The goal is to think about how questions and visualizations connect, and to start coming up with visualizations that answer questions.
Mechanics This exercise will be turned in as a Canvas Survey: Design Exercise 03: Pictures and Questions.

DE02: Design Exercise 2: A First Look at Data
In our first design exercise (it is DE02 because it is in the second week), we will look at our data set and begin to think about why to visualize it. We’ll also practice critique.
