Your Task
Fact Checking a President using data.
• The US president claims that COVID-19 cases and deaths in his country are not as bad as other locations, especially Europe. Donald Trump has continually made statements which do not appear to be supported by the data. For example:
"It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear,..."
The U.S. has "among the lowest case-fatality rates of any major country anywhere in the world."
• We want you to fact check his claims by making visuals based on data from two different dates (see assessment description)
• You will create persuasive visualisations ranking the US COVID infections, death rates relative to the rest of the world
Face-to-Face students
• You need to bring a laptop to class to complete this task individually
• You have 2 hours to perform this task (see instructions below)
• You can take any materials into the class and the task is open book.
• At the end of two hours upload your PowerPoint slides to Turnitin (as a PDF file)
Assessment Instructions (This is for both online and Face-to-Face students)
• Access two datasets:
• You will be given two excel files at the beginning of the assessment
o For August 2020
o For December 2020
• Create Six visualisations which make use of:
o different variables
o different graph type, e.g. table/chart/map/tree map/dial/doughnut, etc.
o Two of the visualisations should compare results from the two datasets
• Cut and paste the graphs into separate slides of PowerPoint (6 slides)
• For each visualisation provide an interpretation, including an explanation of the summary statistics/analytics that you have used. Explain how the visualisations either contradict or support Donald Trump's claims above. (2 slides)
• Explain the theory of user experience design and how you have applied it. (2 slides)
• Explain how you have made your visualisations effective in terms of:
i. pre-attentive attributes
ii. Gestalt laws
iii. integrity
iv. ease of use, and
v. cognitive load
