    Nice course really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load(h.w. & test)was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.



    Overall I really like this class because all lectures, assignments, and tests are straight forward. A couple things I dislike about the class are that there should be more opportunities
  • MUPPALLA SANTHAN GNANENDRA
    Michelle Borkin's lecture provided an exceptional showcase of data visualization's potency. Her presentation of global temperature data on a 3D globe offered a persuasive and comprehensible illustration of climate change. The lucidity and inventiveness of her visualizations rendered intricate data approachable and captivating. It was an impressive display that vividly demonstrated how visualizations can connect data with tangible real-world understanding.
