Data Visualisation

The students would learn about the terminology, concepts and techniques behind visualising data, and will get to use a range of tools to get experience of creating visual representations of data. The students will gain an understanding of how humans perceive data, and why certain techniques can greatly enhance the effectiveness of any visualisation. The students will look at example images to critique them, building up knowledge about what works, and what doesn't. The module will include a mix of lectures, tutorials, seminars and hands-on exercises.
