The Week in Vis: Week 8 (Oct 19-23)

This week, we’ll wrap up Module 2: Methodology: Making and Using Visualizations. No reading this week so you can focus on Design Exercise 2: Stories from Life Expectancy which is due on Friday. One of the days in class, we’ll critique some sample solutions (both from past students as well as AI agents) to help you connect between the concepts we’re discussing and the actual practice of the assignments (as well as helping to build your sense of how we evaluate assignments). The other class day we’ll continue our discussion of design strategies: scalability, comparison, and exploration. There is an anonymous survey at the end of the week as well.

I am not realeasing Anonymous Survey 2: How is this working? until later in the week. I don’t want students to do it until after you have completed DE2.
