In this course you will learn how to build data visualizations that provide insight into the nature of the relationships of interest within the data, as well as how to build visualizations to effectively convey the insights they discover, using contemporary tools. These techniques will enable them to create knowledge that empowers data-based decision making. Visualizations will use data drawn from business operations and business-relevant societal contexts, and include temporal and geospatial data. In many ways, it can be useful to think of this course as a data-visualization-centric communication class which leverages business, data, design, and communication concepts at their intersection
