CT 6445 - Visual Analytics

This course helps develop an understanding of the relationship between the human visual perceptual system and the design and evaluation of information visualizations that inform, educate, and promote analysis. Students will learn to build interactive dashboards and tell compelling stories with charts and graphs based on geospatial, univariate, multivariate, relational, text, and other forms of data. They will also learn to see their design ideas from other perspectives to help evaluate the effectiveness of particular elements of visualizations and think critically about each design decision.
