This is a data communication course. Students will be learning to visualize data, write about data, and speak about data. I'm hoping to have students write/contribute to articles (as a writing assignment) as well as create visualizations from Wikipedia tables (as a visualization assignment). I'm not sure if the visualization piece will make sense to do through this platform.
