<h2>Class Exercise / Critiquing data graphics</h2>
<h3>Objectives</h3>
<ol>
<li>To gain experience of the
different types of data graphics commonly
encountered; </li>
<li>To critically assess
data graphics; </li>
<li>To practice your
presentation skills and team work. </li>
</ol>
<h3>In a nutshell...</h3>
<p>Your task is, in small groups,
to seek out a variety of interesting or thought-provoking data
graphics, and critically analyze these. You will report
back to the class by presenting to the class the best and worst
instance you found, explaining your analysis to the class, and
be
prepared to answer questions on your chosen instances. </p>
<h3>The fine print...</h3>
<p>You should complete this
exercise in groups of between 2 and 4 people. You should
organize
yourselves into groups. </p>
<p>You can then split your task
into three stages.</p>
<h4>Stage 1: Collect and collate a
corpus of data graphics</h4>
<p>Use your resourcefulness to
find and survey a small corpus of
data graphics. You may find it useful to visit the library, to
read the papers, browse the magazines in your local newsagent,
or
simply look around your home or classroom, as well as of course
search
the Internet. </p>
<h4>Stage 2: Critically analyze
your corpus </h4>
<p>Critically assess your corpus,
using the principles covered in the
lecture (four principles of data graphics, visual variables and
value messages, etc.). From your analysis, identify the one of
the best
and
one of the worst data graphics in your corpus, and refine your
analysis as necessary. </p>
<h4>Stage 3: Present your
findings </h4>
<p>You must upload your
best/worst graphic to the course Wiki, along with a brief
(<100
word)
explanation of your analysis. </p>
<p>Groups may also orally present
findings to the whole class. Each
group will have a few minutes briefly to present either their
best
or worst interface/graphics and to summarize their analysis and
justifications for the choice. You will be able to access your
graphic/interface via the Wiki (no powerpoint, no bullet
points). You
should be prepared to answer questions on your choices and
analysis, as
well as support other presenters by asking questions about their
choices. </p>
<p> </p>
