**Intended learning outcomes:** Students ...

- understand how physiological perception affects visualization effectiveness
- know basic visualization techniques
- can generate appropriate visualizations for business and statistical data
- obtain a dataset with at least 100 observations and 5 attributes, formulate two analytical questions, and create data visualizations to answer these questions.

  
**Content:**

- Visualization goals and quality criteria
- Understanding of fundamentals of visual perception
- Overview of data structures in visualization
- Basic algorithms (Isolines, color scales, diagram techniques),
- Direct and indirect visualization of volume data
- map-based visualization
- dashboard design
- Information visualization

**Workload:** 56h contact time + 124h self study, students have to solve a comprehensive additional task where they analyze and visualize a multi-dimensional dataset
