<p>Data visualization gives us a better understanding of our data and helps us communicate that to others. It has the potential to generate insights, communicate findings, and illustrate evidence. Conversely, a poor visualization can undermine an argument or even mislead the reader.</p>
<p>Through a combination of lecture and demonstrations, this <b>1.5-hour workshop</b> will introduce you to data visualization using a common data visualization tool, <a href="https://www.tableau.com/products/desktop">Tableau Desktop</a>. Participants will create visualizations such as a bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots. </p>
<p>This workshop is designed for those new to data visualization and Tableau Desktop. There are no prerequisites or assumptions of knowledge of math, statistics, or programming.</p>
<p>Map & Data Library workshops, such as this one, are a welcoming and inclusive environment for learning. To learn more, check out our <a href="https://mdl.library.utoronto.ca/workshop-code-conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.</p>
