On Friday, September 6, we closed the
CS765-24 class. If you are not enrolled, you will not be. I apologize to those of you who wanted to take the class – there was more demand than capacity. What can you do if you want to learn about Visualization? You cannot attend class. Please dont come. See below. Showing up is only one of the parts of class. You also cannot access internal course materials on Canvas (fair use means just for students in class). Read more

Tableau is a commercial data analysis and visualization tool. The company generously provides it for use in classes through the Tableau for Teaching Program.
Here, we will give you a brief guide on how to get started with it, and pointers to some resources. We expect students to figure out how to work with Tableau enough for class.

The Week in Vis: Week 01
in Weeks in Vis
August 28, 2024 (Last Modified: September 8, 2024)
This is the first of a weekly posting called
The Week in Vis that explains what is going on in class during the week. It also should
give you context for why we are doing things,
and how it all fits together (so it is part of the content for the course). Each week, it will be posted as a Canvas Announcement. It is also a page on the course web (see The
Week in Vis: Week 01).
Usually, I make this posting on Friday
(before the week), but this is not a normal week.

Get-Started
If you are just getting started, the most important things to know (in a suggested order to read them):
If you havent read What Is This Class and Why? page you should. Make sure you want to be here. Check the Requirements as well.
You might want to read the What is Visualization? tutorial (this will be a reading assignment in week 1) to get a sense of the course philosophy.
Understand the Communications Policy policy to know what there is beyond this web page.
Look at the Parts of Class which will give you an idea of how the class works. There are required class meetings (lectures), 3 regular weekly tasks (discussion, seek-and-find, survey), and design exercises.
All these pieces shouldnt be too hard to keep track of because there is a Weekly Rhythm.
Look at the Schedule to get a sense of what will happen this semester (at least what is scheduled so far).
You should understand the course
Policies.
You dont need to purchase Books since we will provide the required readings online, but you must come to class and bring art supplies (see Class Meetings (attendance policy)).
If youre concerned about Grading and Late Policy, the grading plan might not make you feel better.
And then look at The Week in Vis: Week 01 to see whats happening the first week!
