Title: A data visualization course for undergraduate data science students
Abstract: Our university recently began offering a bachelor’s degree in data science. One
of the required courses for this major is a course on data summary and visualization. Fall
Semester 2016 was the second time this course was offered at our university. In this talk,
I will describe the content, structure, and pace of this course and provide examples of
student output.
