6.1 Graded Assignment - Visualization Critique Paper
Choose a environmental data visualization. This can include static figures, interactive graphics, infographics, apps, videos, animations, etc. Please get approval from Mike if you are choosing something that may not meet a standard definition of an environmental data visualization.
Write a two-page paper (12-point font or less) describing the visualization and salient features that you think are interesting and noteworthy. Include a picture or link to your chosen visualization (does not count towards 2-page minimum). In your critique, please include ten individual points that fit into at least one of these categories. Include at least 3 of these categories in your paper.
- Things that you like, or think are done well
- Things that you dislike, or think are done poorly
- Improvements you would make to the visualization (can be additions or subtractions from features in the visualization)
- Features that provide interesting structure to the data and make it more informative
- Features that you find aid in communicating knowledge or help tell the story.
Assignment is due February 3, 2023 at the beginning of class (9:45 AM). Assignments can be emailed or physically turned in. This assignment is worth 150 points. Spelling, grammar, and sentence structure will be a minor component of the score (~10 points).
