Fall 2019 special topics course: Data storytelling

Data Storytelling: JOMC 491/891.951 | mini session, Oct. 21-Dec. 13 | 3 credit hours | meets online

Every day, more of our lives are being stored in a database somewhere. With that explosion of data, storytellers now more than ever need the skills to analyze and understand data to then produce the stories hidden in the information. In this class, we’ll use brainpower and software to look at raw data -- not summarized and already reported information -- to tell stories for a variety of audiences. We’re going to get our hands dirty with code, data, basic stats and the thinking that goes with it.
