I've gotten a bit behind with posting highlights from my visualization course projects, so this is a catch-up post. Since 2019, I've been teaching two visualization courses, CS 625 Data Visualization and CS 725/825 Information Visualization and Data Analytics. In this post, I'll cover CS 725/825 from Spring 2021 , CS 625 from Fall 2021 , and CS 725/825 from Spring 2022 . (Previous semester's posts are available via the VisProjects label on the blog.) CS 725/825 - Spring 2021 In 2019, I was asked to develop a 600-level data visualization course to be part of the core requirements for ODU's MS in Data Science and Analytics program . Since this new course could cover the basics of data visualization theory, I was able to adapt my existing CS 725/825 Information Visualization course to include more advanced topics, which also allowed it to serve as an elective in the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concentration of the new MS program. With these changes,...
