(Previous semester Information Visualization highlights posts: Fall 2017 , Spring 2017 , Spring 2016 , Spring 2015 , Spring/Fall 2013 , Fall 2012 , Fall 2011 ) In Fall 2019, I introduced CS 625: Data Visualization , a new graduate-level visualization course. (This course was taught in a flipped+hybrid manner, as I described in an earlier blog post .) We used the same textbook, Tamara Munzner's Visualization Analysis and Design , as in my previous CS 725/825 Information Visualization courses, but this course was designed to be a gentler introduction to visualization and data analysis. We focused on basic visualization design principles and on how to ask good questions rather than D3 programming. Students were allowed to use whatever tool they wished, but I emphasized clear design no matter what tool was used. Over the course of two assignments ( HW7 , HW8 ), students developed questions about real-world data, developed a draft visualization, and then refined the visualization based
