Making Data Visual
Making Data Visual Information can be used to inform, persuade, excite, and build community identity. Being able to move between data in a spreadsheet to a story that uses data that highlights information responsibly is a critical skill. In this course we will learn about communication standards for sharing data with experts and non-experts alike. Gaining skills in programs such as Canva, Photoshop and R, we will work to build data visualizations that are accurate, interesting, and responsibly represented. In the final project we will turn to our own community using data to tell a story about experiences at Middlebury.
The class was extremely easy going. Professor O'Brien's style of teaching is very simple and she explains topics well. If you already have knowledge about R, you probably will not learn anything new. However, it still gives you a credit, so, I would recommend it if you are looking for hours.
This class was easy but kind of boring. There is a below average amount of work and it is all graded very fairly. I would say I learned a decent amount in this class. I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in data or mathematics, otherwise it is pretty boring.
The course was very slow. The content was okay. We learned more about the types of visualization rather than how to actually make them. The class was very easy with little to no homework most weeks. The final was a project and I thought it was pretty interesting.
This class was painfully boring and moved painfully slow. It literally felt like a middle school class at times. I think the professor is relatively new to teaching which shows a bit. The final project was fun but the description of the course is a bit misleading - I thought we would learn a lot about how to code in R but we really only just scratched the surface. Take data science instead if you want to actually learn R.

This course was boring, but not difficult. I thought it would be more in R and Flourish, after seeing the course description. However, the professor is very nice and it was very easy. Not a lot of homework.
