Model Data Visualization
Here is a sample of the type of visualization you might prepare for your class task for today!
You can use landscape or portrait format, and any type of chart format which you think is appropriate for your data.
REMEMBER: your visualization needs to not just show the data in a pretty form, it must have a reason, concept, or story! What is your 'ask'? What is the lesson you want us to learn from looking at your data?
This graphic contains two charts, one pie chart with data collected in my classroom, and one bar chart with data from an American university in 2018.
