Overview:

One of the objectives of this course is to help you think about how you interact with and respond to data you encounter and the way in which it is communicated to you. This assessment provides you the opportunity to systematically think about each topic that we consider in class, reflecting on what you have learned, what you observe in the world around you and how you will use these learnings in the future.  

Required:

At the end of the course, you will complete a 1000-1200 word course reflection, integrating the reflections from your weekly submissions.

This will be worth 15.5% of your final grade.

In this final reflection you need to discuss THREE key takeaways for you from this course with specific reference to how you will act on these takeaways in the short or long term.  Note that a good review will also articulate whether you feel you have achieved the course learning outcomes. 

There is no peer review required for this final submission.

Course Learning outcomes addressed:

· Create a data visualisation, from a provided dataset, that delivers a compelling narrative to a specified audience.
