What are the benefits of visualizing data?
It makes patterns easier to see.
Can we characterize common mistakes in visualizations to which we gave low ratings?
Lack of information, scale, and numbers
Can we characterize common strengths in effective visualizations?
They make sense, the graphics are organized and clean, and they show data
What other types of visualizations other than charts did you see?
Tables, videos, and boxes
What do you need or want to keep in mind when you make your own visualization to avoid "rookie mistakes"
Make your visualization make sense, make the graphics clean and concise, and make sure you are labeling all of the data.
“Do you have to use a computer to create a data visualization? What are some reasons that you need to use a computer to manipulate data?”
You can visualize data without a computer, but a computer makes it much easier. You need a computer to manipulate data because its 10x easier. If you wanted to change the scale of a graph by hand, you would have to redraw it each time. With a computer its 1 click away. Its also very hard to take large quantities of data and sort it by hand. Computers can easily sort the data and visualize them.
Post to your blog the answer to the following Prompt: What was the most interesting visualization you were able to create? What did it help you discover about the data?
The most interesting visualization I created was the age vs. number of men and women chart. It helped me discover that there were much more men who took the survey then woman.
