Assignment: Data Visualization

Overview

To accompany their Research Essay, students will create two data visualizations, one using secondary research data and one using primary research data.

Specifics

As a supplement to your Research Essay, you will create two infographics that convey important data that is relevant to your argument. The Data Visualizations should accurately and ethically convey the data and show rhetorical awareness in the design and presentation.

One visualization should visualize data gathered from one of your secondary sources. For example, the cost of tuition for international students at ASU over the past 10 years. This infographic should clearly document the source of the data. The second visualization should represent data from your primary research. Remember that "data," as we are using it, does not necesarily mean just numbers and statistics. Forms of primary research such as interviews and personal observation can also be visualized.

The visualizations should convey the information accurately but also be crafted to fit the argument you are making in the Research Essay. They should also take advantage of the visual medium to convey information and ideas in a way that written text cannot.

You can use one of the visualization creators listed below or one of your own choosing. Visualizations can also be hand-drawn if you choose.
