Context:

This assessment will examine the student’s understanding of the data types and the fundamentals of

Data Visualization. In particular, students are asked to write a short report (up to 8 pages using this

template on “How would you visualize your data?”

Topic: How would you visualize your data?

Preparation:

To start your assignment, you first need to select the data you wish to visualize. These data might be

from your previous studies, data from your work, any research project or some data you've obtained

from elsewhere as long as your data contain at least 5 attributes (columns) with at least 3 different

data types.

Tasks:

In your report, you are asked to describe and argue with appropriate references:

1. The nature of the data: what do those data represent/describe? how were they originally

collected? (This is not asking where 'you' obtained this dataset from.)

2. Who are the consumers of such data? Why did they need this dataset? How are they using this dataset?

3. How are those data typically depicted or conveyed to those audiences? Present your

explanation/argument with respect to data types and why the data needed to be visually

represented in a certain way.

4. What sort of questions are asked and answered through such typical visualization you’ve mentioned in #3?

5. What might be typical mistakes people make in depicting those data?

6. How would YOU visualise those data differently? Using the symbolic representations from

Semiology of Graphics, describe and explain how you would define the imposition of your

visualisation, and how you would assign each data type to various visual variables.

7. Provide a sample of your visualization derived from the symbolic representation from #6. (You

can use any visualization tool to create your visualization or you can provide hand sketches).

8. Explain how you derived your visualisation in #7 from the symbolic representation in #6.

9. Derive an equivalent but different symbolic representation of your answer from #6, and explain

the equivalency. Simply reallocating different data elements to the different axis/visual variables

within the same symbolic representation will not attract any marks.

10. Provide an example of your alternative visualization derived from the symbolic representation

from #9, and describe/explain how you assigned each data type to be used for the axes and

various visual variables. (You can use any visualization tool to create your visualization or you can

provide hand sketches).

The use of Generative AI tools:

The use of Generative AI tools to create any content included in your report is prohibited. The use of

digital tools including Generative AI tools is permitted for the purpose of improving your English or

proofreading. If you used any digital tools including Generative AI tools, you must provide appropriate

citations/references describing the source and how it was used. You also need to keep records of the

prompts you have used and the output you received from the digital tools. You may be asked to

provide such records to validate the attribution of your work. Failing to provide the required record

may result in being reported to the academic integrity case and facing potential disciplinary actions.

Submission:

Write your report(up to pages)using this template.

(https:lledstem.orglaulcourses/16881/resources7download=18112)_We use this format and set the

maximum page number in order to make the amount of work presented and processed by the

markers consistent across all students. Not complying with the provided template will resut in a

reduction of 5 marks.

Use this Canvas site to submit your report in the form of a PDF file,so that it can be checked using Turnitin.
