Students harness the power of storytelling by using data visualizations to bring their
stories to life. Storytelling is both an art and a skill, especially when it comes to data
visualization. This course provides students with the expertise needed to create an engaging, informative, compelling story. Students create a story that is grounded in food studies; learn basic data handling skills, including how to assess data quality, and interpreting basic metrics. Students learn the techniques of visualization design. In a final project, students use their knowledge to produce a data visualization that tells a story of their choice.
