Student's Choice Presentation

Topic due Friday 4/2/2021 at 8:59pm Chicago time

Web page and video due Friday 4/9/2021 at 8:59 pm Chicago time
We are going to spend four class periods looking at current interactive visualizations that you think are particularly interesting. This will give you a chance to use what you have learned in the class to critique that visualization, as a model for critiquing visualizations in the future.
First you should find an interactive visualization that you think is well done and interesting, and deep enough that you can effectively critique it. This could be a web page. It could be an app on your phone or watch or laptop, or on some other appliance or worn device. Maybe its in a car or on a bike. Ideally its related to something of interest to you, where you can bring your knowledge and experience to the critique. Note that just scrolling through a set of visualizations is not interactive enough. The user needs to be able to make choices, change settings, and alter the content of the visualization.
One place to start looking might be at FlowingdData https://flowingdata.com/ or gizmodo has an infographics tag . You can also get some ideas from the kinds of things that have been critiqued in the past.
You should pick something that has not been presented as part of the lectures, or presented by the students before (see the list below), or if the concept has been presented before it should be presented in a new way or from a different perspective. Choosing a visualization from the last year increases your odds of it being new. Visualizations and data sources related to other countries would be much appreciated as those would give me a wider variety of visualizations to show future classes.
Once you have chosen a visualization email Andy with its location so it can be approved and we ensure that everyone is doing something different.
You should create a web page with a link to the original visualization and your critical discussion about the interactive visualization. Based on what we have talked about in class and what you have experienced in creating these kinds of applications, apply that knowledge to critique this visualization.  This should be a critical discussion of the value of the visualization:

This discussion should include plenty of screen shots to back up your comments. In the past about 10 screenfulls of good text and images have been about right for an A in the critique.
Each person will have 5 minutes to present the visualization and their critique. Normally we would do this live in class, for this term we will do it through a YouTube video that you create and narrate. Give a link to your video on your webpage.

Once you have your web page done, email its location to Andy and include a picture of the visualization so we can link all the pages into the class webpages.


Here is a list off visualizations presented in the last few years- at minimum you should search for the title of your visualization to make sure it is not in this list before submitting it for approval.
