BUAN 5210 - Data Wrangling, Visualization, and Communication

3 credit hours
This course teaches the essential and practical skills necessary to communicate information about data clearly and effectively through written, oral and graphical means. Students will learn and practice with advanced visualization tools to effectively communicate. The course will build from the understanding of data to the presentation of the analysis. Data visualization “storytelling” will provide tools to effectively: communicate ideas, summarize, influence, explain, persuade and provide evidence to an audience. Visualization can convey patterns, meaning, and results extracted from: multivariate, geospatial, textual, temporal, hierarchical, and network data. During the course, students will deliver presentations using these techniques and they will also learn to critically evaluate other presentations.
