Assignments & Project
There will be regular homework assignments, typically as part of lab sessions. There will also be a final term project; more details about which will be forthcoming.
Textbook
We will be drawing material from a wide variety of sources for this course; as such, there is no single, required text book per se. However, we will frequently refer to Nathan Yau’s Data Points, and highly recommend that anybody taking this class have a copy. Additionally, many lab sessions and some assignments will use exercises from Nathan Yau’s Visualize This. Tamara Munzer’s Visualization Analysis and Design is also incredibly useful.
