Part 1: Critiquing Visualizations (30 points)

Find and critique three (3) visualizations on the web. You may want to check out the following for some visualizations:

• Viz of the Day (Tableau Public): public.tableau.com/app/discover/viz-of-

the-day

Provide the following for each visualization. Each visualization is worth 10 points.

1) Web site

2) Name of the visualization

3) Discuss the visualization. What is it trying to convey?

4) In your opinion, would you consider this to be a good visualization or not?

Why or why not? In your analysis, consider use of color, text, and space in

the visualization. Does the visualization clearly and easily show the

information it is trying to convey?

Note, #3 and #4 above should be at least two well developed paragraphs in length

(at least two paragraphs for #3 and at least two paragraphs for #4). Please use

correct grammar and spelling in your responses.

Part 2: Creating Visualizations Using Tableau Public (40 points)

In Part 2, you will use Tableau Public to create two visualizations. Five videos

have been created that show how to create a line chart, bar graph, stacked bar

graph, map, and histogram in Tableau Public. Please watch the videos and decide

which two types of visualizations you would like to create. For example, you

may want to create the line chart and map that were created in the videos.

Follow the steps in the videos to create the visualizations and then publish them to

your Tableau Public account.

To create a Tableau Public account, go to https://public.tableau.com/s/

Select the button Sign Up for Tableau Public

Please note that a visualization that has been published using Tableau Public is

viewable by the public on the internet. You can remove your Tableau Public

visualizations and/or account after the Spring 2023 semester concludes.

If you would like to delete your Tableau Public account after the Spring 2023

semester concludes, then you can by selecting Settings under your Tableau Public

Profile. You will see an option to Delete Tableau Public Account.

The Line Chart, Bar Chart, and Stacked Bar visualizations use the Excel file

dataset1

The Map visualization uses the Excel file dataset2.

The Histogram visualization uses the Excel file dataset3

Each Tableau Public visualization is worth 20 points.

In your Project 2 submission document, enclose the URL for your Tableau Public

visualizations. For example, Marcy Jance’s Tableau Public visualizations can be

found at https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/marcy3687
