INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH TABLEAU

Teaches concepts, theories, and skills, related to data visualization. Students merge, join, and download data from several sources to prepare and interpret usable visualizations. Students learn theory and design principles of data based visualizations, how to spot misleading visualizations, as well as best practices for data visualization and dashboard design. Students also sharpen their analytical skills and learn to use Tableau. Graduate students in this course will complete projects requiring greater depth of understanding and analysis than the undergraduate course of the same title. They will be evaluated for higher level learning outcomes than undergraduates as well.Prerequisite: BI 521.
