Course Overview
Have you ever collected and documented your own data?
Dear Data was a year-long project by two information designers who sent hand-drawn postcards to each other every week based on personal data. In this course, we will embark on a similar journey, learning lots about data, each other, and ourselves in the process. We will practice collecting and analyzing data, and we will use our data to share insights about our lives.
Student Outcomes:
- Read and interpret data visualizations
- Learn to collect and document your own data
- Use data to tell a story
